Default pgrading just vavle springs

Hi there:
Would upgrading my valve springs with stock cam and rockers give me any more HP?

quick answer is no. While, with tuning, you could increase the revlimiter, 6200 rpm is already well past the cams peak HP range. Spinning the motor faster will only make HP drop off further.

Oh well, I kinda thought that they wouldn't but I wanted to check to see what others thought about it. Thanks for your insight.

Hey GuitsBoy, I was reading your sig and I noticed you have an alluminum Fuel door. Do you have any pic. and does it lock?

I'm w/ GuitsBoy on this one. It'd be a horrible waste of money.

From what I can see in the picture, I think it looks pretty good!

FuriouSS99 - Would you agree on the RICE factor if I told you it was a part meant for a Mitsubishi Eclipse?

And the !Girlfriend was a MINOR weight savings mod, not so much an appearence mod. But the car does ride much quieter now.

Well, I got mine NIB from a board member, but you can try a mitsubishi dealer - or theres a few places online that have them, but youll need to search. I paid $50 but most pick one up online or from ebay for around $80.
