Reply to "Bad valve spring day.."

Hello Mike; Since you are NOT using the 8,000 RPM capabilities of your engine & would be satisfied with a 6,000-6,500 RPM redline.

I would eliminate the "Extra" valve spring pressure that your engine currently has that allows it to rev to 8,000.

I would be VERY INTERESTED, what your engine dynos at 6,000-6,500 & then at 8,000??

If the difference is 100 HP ( guesstimating) would you be satisfied with 550 HP, if it meant increasing the longevity of your engine, exponentially???!!

As an example...If your current 650 HP engine would last 2,500 miles before a mandated teardown vs a 550 HP engine that would last 7,500 miles before a mandated teardown...

Which would be your choice ??!! ...Mark
