    Not necessarily Bill. I've seen what a higher rate spring does to a tensioner.........I'd just be wary about it. That's all.

    Im going with a single timing chain, Cloyes and a Cloyes dampner. 105's # springs (wish I could use my 90# springs), my current retainers from the YT rocker set up, and I guess....and SX1 cam. This look good to anyone?? and oh yeah, a new tune!

    Right, bump your idle and that should take care of the smoothing. 105's are easier on the chain than 90's. And the higher idle snooths that out too.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
