Thanks a lot. As you can tell, I don't post much in this forum.

We use L19's on all of the motors we build. They've handled 30psi and 1000hp just fine!
we've run them on the supras we build and they have been great. The cost difference in going with L19's is still cheaper than having to machine the block and head for 1/2" which is the only other way for big boost. Save some time and headaches and do the L19's

Well I'm at 496whp right now. Looking to add the cams/valvetrain/exhaust and get a new tune. I feel it puts me in a dangerous area.
You know me too well!

All of the websites that I've gone to say that the BC stage 2 doesn't even need a valvetrain upgrade of any kind? Can anyone comment on that?

Yeah, it says that the BC stage 3 requires springs and retainers.....
This is just getting cheaper and easier by the second..... or is it?
My engine only has 2k on it since the build....heads have 17k... should I upgrade springs and retainers to go with the BC stage 2?
