Well I haven't chimed in here on this subject yet but now I will. Yes, the Comp NRS cams have a higher lift than the stock cams and will stress the stock springs more the the stock cams. This modding thing is not a perfect world and you will gain horsepower with this mod but it will shortern the stock spring life. How much at this point is anyones guess. All I can say is any mod you do to these cars will have a downside. It is up to the individual to determine if the gain is worth the risk. It surely is not a perfect world. "Pay your money and take your chances" Nobody out there will offer you anything better than this. That said.....I am very happy with the power gains I got for 1K spent!!!!!

Understand your logic about modding and taking your chances. I have no problem if it's a 50,000 mile lifetime for the stock springs with a new higher lift cam. If we're talking 20,000 or so miles than I'd probably upgrade the springs now to save the $$$ down the road. I also realize there is no guarantee on lifetime - just looking for an educated guess. I plan on keeping this for a long time - I also don't race it and pick my spots for WOT so I may get a little more lifetime than some. And of course, I 'd rather spend $1,000 as opposed to $2,000 for the same result.

Interesting thought. Maybe I don't understand the 7-10 hp part. These NSR cams are supposed to deliver anywhere from 20-25 rwhp. Are you saying install the springs and gain 7-10 rwhp with cam and springs or gain an additional 7-10 rwhp with stronger springs? Help me out here. Thanks.

Looks like they give you a little more hp than the NSR cams so I guess it's a matter of deciding if the extra hp is worth the additonal $1,000 or so. Probably is in the long range view but as Shawn13 indicated - "more NSR cam choices will be coming if there is a market for them". May have to sit and wait for a bit to see what other options develop.
