People running a Trex.... How often do you have to do maintenance on your motor (changing valve springs or anything else you have to do while running such an agressive cam as the TRex as a DD)???
I've been considering the Ms3/4 or Torquer V.2/3, for my 2002 ls1 out of a SS with 23,000 miles with stock 241 heads...but as i've started to go through some threads, a lot of people are running trex's as DD also. the car will be used to go to work (about 8 miles from my house) 4 days a week with a TH400 and 3.73's. My main concern for the car will be serious street racing with spray. how often will i have to change valve springs (i've heard every 10,000miles)? how long will my stock lifters last? who has gone beyond that 10,000 mile mark with the same springs? And before you ask...i have found a great tuner in my area with great experience in lsx motors so drivability will be covered...and i know i need all the supporting mods to help the cam breath. Thanks.
