I know it is mostly the rpm that important about the valve train but im just curious to see what kinda horsepower your making to go along with it. I am looking to rev to maybe 10k and am looking into supertec valve train how do you think it will hold up and do you have any recomendations?

The valve springs job is to keep that valve closed....so imagine those guys running 50+PSI and reving to 10,000+RPM. So technically it kinda does have to do with horsepower but anyways...most valve springs out there are good enough.
