Re: Vanguard Peformance Stages
I’ve been doing quite a bit of reading and have a question. If I get the cam and rev kit or possibly CPP springs, billet push rods, retainers, and timing advance key, will that result in the need of a high torque starter?

Re: Vanguard Peformance Stages
You will want the high torque starter because the CPP cam does not have a compression release, so it's difficult for the stock starter to spin the engine. Upgraded battery and starter cables help too.

Re: Vanguard Peformance Stages
I will say this, on the 16 with a cam you can get away with a good/new stock starter with 4 gauge cables and a good battery. The engine that I have is set up this way and worked fine for me. If you are using the stock 8 gauge cables you might have issues.

Re: Vanguard Peformance Stages
Well I think I’ve decided against a cam for now. I don’t want to have to upgrade the starter and possibly deal with needing a upgraded carb.
I’m getting ready to order a rev kit, I’m just trying to decide between the CPP Isky springs or to just get the kit with the shims. |

Re: Vanguard Peformance Stages
Just get the springs and Billet Rods and be done with it. You are already in there and the springs are off, may as well spend the few extra dollars and know you have a solid valve train no matter what.

Re: Vanguard Peformance Stages
When you say "billet rods" are you talking push rods or connecting rods?
