what if I already bought the 156 cam while I should bought the 189 ? Can I just use the 156 phaser and be done with it or is it more complicated than that?

im not 100% sure on that honestly. i don't see why not. you're still being limited by the phaser itself, and it still reads the same on the cam gear. the thing that i would be concerned with is the actual cam timing itself. may have to go through and get two of the cam actuators and pull the spring out of one and use it to degree the cam, and also to check ptv.

to my knowledge on this it's just a difference in pin location. so getting the matching actuator/phaser to the cam and limiting block, you "should" be ok.

im not 100% though

you would need the actuator that you are going to use on the truck, and one that you are going to use for the ptv checking. on the one you want to use for ptv, pull the cam sensor gear off and the spring will pop off there, and possibly go flying across the room. put the limiting block in this one for now, keep in mind, there are slight variations in the spaces between the vanes, which is where following the comp directions and placement comes into play. bolt this sucker up and you now have free range motion without the giant spring in there to limit you.

To the earlier question about vales etc. All stock L92 valves and retainers here. With a stable lobe i vote safe to 7500 RPM but after that? Your running into risky land

There are some max effort L92's ive seen running to just under 8000 RPM on stock valves.... pulling high 8 second 1/4 miles too. Incredible potential in these genIV platforms
