Supertech Spring - Too much seat pressure?
My head guy just called and told me there is too much spring pressure, almost 70lbs, when the sheet says just over 50 lbs. Anyone else have issues with this?
D16Y8 head
ST .5mm bigger In/Ex Valves - cut for 3 angles
ST Springs
ST Retainers
I bought the package through Earl and have seen it installed on a few other members, but not hear any bad feeback? Should I be worried?

Re: Supertech Spring - Too much seat pressure? (platinum00)
I spoke with ST, they said I'm fine with that pressure. But I'm getting close to coil bing with the Zex cam. Is there a rule that you should not go to close to the max bound of a spring? Right now my coil bind is 1.360 and my height is 1.85 which leaves me with .490 (spring height minus CB)
Now the Zex cam is .455 lift, is the .35 difference too close?

Re: (ELSpool)
Which cam are you installing? I have the Supertech set up from Earl as well. I also have Zex's new 59500 cam(sorry dont have the specs right now) but I know it has alot of lift to it but is still on the 111 LSA, same as the 59300 cam.
