ok well im only a few things shy of having my engine done. only thing left is valve train.

im looking at ferrea and SI

anyone have either or have opinions? price? where you picked them up at?

im looking at the springs and retainers. so far the best iv found is right under 700 shipped for the ferrea springs, retainers and keepers. no valves

Spend a little more and get the Patriot Stage 2 head. About $1300 after all is said and done. They include oversized valves, stronger springs, bronze guides, 5 axis CNC P'n'P, and a whole lot more. Look it up on their site...Patriot Performance



I used to race cars, now I race myself.

lol a little? 1300 is alot more then 680. almost double man. port and polishing isnt need for my. a local friend can do a mild port. i just need a valve train that can handle 20+ psi.

if anyone wants to know, i emailed SI about springs and retainers. they said the only offer valves for the ecotec.

Give comp cams a try. I think they should have the retainers, springs, and locks. Along with cams.
