no valve clearance problems with either one of these cams just as long as you don't mill the heads or go to big of valves. As for the tq converter i have no clue. I'm an M6 guy, hopefully PREDATOR-Z will chime in and help you out there he should know. I've heard of some people getting 20,000 miles out of the dual springs, but i plan on checking mine about 15,000 just to be safe. i would say a lot of it has to do with how aggressive you drive also

I remember seeing a dyno comparison of these 2 cams awhile back. I forget the specifics, but I think it was an average of 10rwhp difference on a cam only car.
Personally I'd prefer the T2 on a cam only daily driver, and XER lobes to me is still pushing the limits. There comes a point where if you have to pull valve springs every year or less to check for tension on a car that sees daily driver duty, it defeats the purpose of running hydraulic lifters. Adjusting lash on a solid cam'd motor is much easier than going through the process of pulling valve springs off, especially on our 4th gens. On top of that, a solid roller grind is still significantly more aggressive on ramp rates than XER lobes. Not to mention durability from 7000 on is vastly improved.

Mods in sig: Here's my question.
Useing the Stage 2.5 HEads from TSP and the V3 Cam, what kind of numbers should I expect from a good tune?
AFter that head and cam, looking at FAST 90/90, what would THAT add?

I realize I'm in a minority here, but I don't see alot of talk concerning long term reliability with these new LSK grinds. It wouldn't surprise me if there will be a number of engines failing due to dropping valves in the future.

Damn, she makes that car look great !
