Your Tq curve is very very flat. That's a good thing. It would be nice to see the before and after on the same graph. The heat did kill your power levels for sure.

So I started doing the cam install Saturday, actually pulled #1 valve spring and went to replace with the jwt supplied valve spring but the retainer didn't fit the supplied valve spring. I talked to someone at JWT and they told me that I would need an earlier model valve spring retainer (that's been discontinued). Did anyone else come across this problem, I would like to know what year they apparently changed to the beehive style valve springs.

I'm not sure, was not an issue for me and my install on a 2011. Hopefully someone here can assist or give an explanation.

That may have changed in 2015. Several things did.

I hope noone buys these...I asked if he disassembled them and he said yes... that's a huge no no. Those are trash now unless maybe you are a master tech. The ladders are disassembled and ruined.

LOL, they are not ruined. How do you think they build motors, do valve jobs, and replace the valve guides, etc.

I sold a pair of heads like this to a forum
Member. Heads are installed and car is very closed to being tuned. How do you think people install c2 cams? Have to remove the ladder to removed the oem exhaust cam.

Ok, maybe I shouldn't be worrying as much then. The factory service manual says that they can't be mixed and matched (ladders & heads). It looks to me like the control shaft has been removed, which the fsm clearly states never remove the black bolts on the control shaft or make adjustments to the rockers.
