    to cheap out and run weak springs just to save say 200 bucks is beyond my imagination. you do realize you can easily ruin a set of heads or worse your pistons which then relates to a totalled motor just by tryign to save a few bucks skimping on springs.

    i lost a motor due to weak springs. never again will i go with anything but a dual setup any kind of cam

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
