Verdict is out . Apart from Bill Washburn and the one time he had a shim pop out on him, it seems only the drift/hardcore drag guys have this issue (for obvious reasons).
Shim it to factory specs and see how that works out. Do not forget step 5 when shimming; you can only shim 1 rocker finger at a time (you can do 4 valves per intake and exhaust to make it go quicker).
Me thinks it is a great idea but not a necessity. But if you have the head apart, whats another 5-700 dollars right?? Yeah, its called the VE slippery slope logic

I've only run BCs and not for long enough to know if wear was an issue with those.
Maybe I'll just run the Kelford stuff then I can blame them if it wears
What's the shimless valve setup? |
I think the mixed reviews (which are somewhat few and far between) are the 123lb supertechs. Meh, run what you can get your hands on.
I have one of the few sets of the Kelford Behives at the moment so we will
