Awesome! I obviously havent rodded on my car too too hard yet because I'm on a conservative tune to get me by till Taylor tunes me and I gotta go get meth but all that talk of certain people saying you lose a ton of torque with the S2 cams is totally wrong. I'm very happy how well the car pulls down low. And I haven't even wound my car out to where they really shine yet 
also,
based on what I am seeing with ZZP stage 2 cans, if you did not put in an entirely new front timing set with gears guides bolts and oilers that set up wont last long. And I am not sure how long it will last anyway.
You get nothing for nothing and if you want to rev., you are going to have to pay. Enjoy!
Its the Revs kills the chain. The cams need revs. But an ATI dampener sure does help. lol. Mr B those bolts you sent me are they speshul? I am looking at this mess of a broken bolt and plotting the next step. I didnt do the install on this one and it is possible the tech overtorqued it, but I would hope not.

as for the chain I don't think is so much the rpm look at how things survive on stock springs you get the occasional broken bolt but not much else and they go for 100k but the broken bolts come from over torqued/a little substandard fasteners
now when you add springs it makes it a lot harder to rotate the cams which puts more stress on all of the timing components and the fasteners need to deal with more stress
now you add cams in to play and that makes it even harder to rotate the cams due to increased lift and you add the ability to spin it higher and your going to start have even more fastener failures so what is the logical thing to do put better fasteners in place
they are arp chrome moly bolts they should torque in at 11ftlbs with a drop of red Loctite

I hope i won't have a problem with 94lb springs and some monster cams. Otherwise ill be taking extream measures to make sure it dosnt happen. Just dont want to go that far. To have a high tensile chain made and blabla bla. But 10,000 rpm is my goal

I just wish you guys had these fancy bolts ready when I had my front cover off timing my motor

its the one in the head that mainly breaks but it still is not hard to pull the cover
