Camshafts?
SLR valve springs with Kleemann camshafts? Do I need to replace my valve springs with new camshafts (54k miles) PTE camshafts still available? Are MHP camshafts good? Why do they call them apartments when they are together?

springs w/ camshafts
the supercharger do not have to come off to replace/remove springs. once the valve covers off, remove bridge and the springs are right there. the supercharged stays bolted on thru the whole process with camshaft replace/upgrade and/or springs removal/upgrade.

I have seen the spring type vary some on our 55K engines. I prefer the red stripe models( don`t have part number handy), if you go with stock springs. I would go with the SLR springs, if you have a choice.

Then it's settled...SLR springs it is. I should have Jerry put them in for me, but I'm kinda looking forward to doing it myself. For the record, Jerry's lead tech is freakin awesome. He'll probably have to fix my screw ups, anyways. lol

Sounds like I need to leave my original valve springs and just change out my cams. Replace the springs if and when I do the heads at a later date?
Kinda looking at a sl65 (used) purchase in the beginning of next year. $4100 + $1200 labor for heads to gain 50 hp does not make my pocketbook happy, right now. lol
I just don't want to float a damn valve when at higher rpms. That would suck.

... easy to make mistakes there
would let it do only to someone who knows perfectly that engine
or, as I was advised from an extremely reputable company who did not know that engine (even if they knew very well other engines with red heads),
it has to be first put on a bench
