Def say to change it, from what I was reading around its infamous for its valve to get stuck closed. I know its that because I have no oil pressure. You could hear the top of the engine was running dry and ticking. Thankfully I was able to catch it instantly since had just happened at home.

I know some cam kits come with the melling high volume, the vengeance kit I ordered has it. In addition, the kit is supposed to come in tomorrow, but just based on the support I got from them over the phone and how quick they shipped it (within a couple hours), I definitely feel comfortable to recommend them if you havent made an option yet.

this is the lip I have on, just super hard to tell in my pics since stupid dark. but next set of pics should be better and hopefully have it color matched better to my car.
