Reply to "How should I be driving my engine?"

The exhaust is a quad-tipped (Borla style I think) and at idle I only hear the drivers side, but the idle settles down most of the time.

My tach works only part time, and a quick throttle blip usually gets the idle down to a nice tick-over, in no way does it sound all "hopped up" with the car shaking, sounding anxious to launch into a wheelie.

But MAN, when I punched it to full throttle getting on the freeway the other day, I was white knuckling the wheel, that motor just kept pulling harder and harder, til it actually scared me a little. The thing is a monster.

That's another reason I'd rather buy and install new valve springs now than wait for one to break, if at that lift they are in jeopardy of breaking I want to play it safe.

What would be your thoughts on the matter of the springs?
