Can S3/S4 cams be run with the stiffer C3 springs and retainers? Would running stiffer springs reduce the power output of the S4/s3 cams?

Anyone knows about this?

Yes they can be run with stiffer springs. They are supposed to make more power too. I think the s4's make like 3-4 hp more when run with retainers to be honest with you. I am not sure about the s3's. This info came from a phone conversation between clark at JWT and Andreas. Sorry I don't have all the particulars.

This is interesting info. I wonder if my JUN's would make more power with their springs? Anyone know why they make more power with the stiffer springs?

I believe it's a harmonics thing. I have the Toda springs on order with my 264 cams. Toda recommends upgrading springs with all their cams. 3 weeks and counting.

Will those Toda cams work on your car? Aren't they for the mechanical lifter SR20DE's?

How did you find this out? I've been waiting to hear info on this from someone. Also, doesn't the Toda catolog say you need their lifter kit???
