That's pretty true. I know I have a bigger turbo, but I was blowing coil packs like crazy on that 35r turbo before I got the cop system.

Those of you with bump sticks, are you revving your motor out? If so to what rpm?

Did you do springs and retainers too, or just cams?

I just bought some GSC S2 cams.... going to pick up springs and retainers when I can. I was just curious what people in the community were doing or what would be safe.

It doesn't matter what cam you run. If you want to run over 8k without floating a valve, you should have springs and retainers.

That's because your car is louder than an f-16 after 4k rpms.

I'm pretty certain the most he made on stock coils was about 650-700. That was with a HKS twin power ignition pack though.
