If everyone here was running our cars in stock eliminator, cam selection would be very critical. Since few, if any of us are stock elim racing, I don't think it really matters just a whole lot. Most of the cars here are street driven rides that don't have to be perfect to be able to enjoy them. Personally, I don't care if joe blow overcams the snot out of his car. Most joe blows are only looking to impress with their nasty idles and big hp numbers. Most could care less about power under the curve or about having the correct cam. If they're happy, I'm happy.

If you're at the point of noticing a gain with titanium locks... you've spent a lot of money optimizing your valvetrain already. We're talking 3 grams savings per pair, at the cost of running a hollow stem intake valve for a 20 gram mass savings.

Some people just want the added ability of spinning their engine to 7+k rpm no problem and the lighter valvetrain will help for sure. Also, when u are spinning that high, u usually have a bigger cam that makes its power up there which will then have a higher lift which then requires a stronger, more stable valvetrain to handle that abuse...this is why these threads appear; people want a lightweight strong valvetrain w/o having to spend out the *** for it if possible.

What exactly are you trying to say here? Better to get the hollow intake valves or that Ti locks are silly...Im slightly confused by the second part of ur statement.
