you can get the cranes at thunder racing. you'll need new retainers. i believe they have there whole package deal for 500 or so.

just a little confusion ??? when people say heat cycles are they talking just on break in or should i never put my foot in it till it reaches a good temp say 175, 180 or so and at the track i like to usually run around 145 or so is that bad?

manleys. for a single spring or if you can swing it isky golds, thunder also sells them but its about 450 for the springs and tit. retainers.

about heat cycling, its mostly just an initial break in period. dont running them up to 6k untill they been heat cycled a few times. high rpms and cold springs = not good.

once the springs are broken then they should be fine and normal precautions should just be taken, like not beating on the engine until normal operating temperature is reached.

just normal precautions as not going out side and cold starting your engine and gunning out of the drive way at 6k doing burnouts around the corner.

that goes with any car, wait until normal operating temp. to take it up to the high revs. which im sure you do that now anyway.

and with your cam specs, yes i would get the manleys for a single spring.
