...Again; Im building a b16 motor for boost and Im looking for vavles/retainers/springs and 510 shipped seems like a good deal; I wanted ctr what you guys think? Are these things going to last?

supertech valves, springs and retainers are the best.

510 shipped is a great deal, where are you gettign it from?

The seller convinced me to get JG Proseries instead; he said JG makes better ones then supertech but there customer service is just HORRRIBLE but he has the set in stock.

 

^^
instead of supertech what about this setup for the same price
-JG Proseries Tit. Retainers
-JG Proseries Valve Springs
-Manley Stainless Steel w/Nitrate coded valves

I still like Super Tech or Ferrera. The manleys that I had for a customer were really heavy.

 

So you think should stick to my org set up then? with all supertech componets?

 

I have to send out the money order tomorrow and i cant make up my mind....

 

I would. but that is just me because I am biased.

holy **** this thread is filled with a bunch of mis info

supertech does not make ferrea

totally wrong. they might come from the same plant in argintina, but super tech doesnt just rebadge it and give it to ferrea

JG has the HORRIBLE service. they are in alot of debt. there are a **** LOAD of horror stories of people getting screwed over by them. search around and you can find out some more info

super tech has excelent service. Ive talked with the north america distributor several times. Supertech had some problems with mushrooming valves tips about 1-2 years ago. but they fixed the problem and replaced valve sets for free to anyone who had a problem with them

its REV valves that have bad customer service. I was lied to many times by them and it took forever to get replacement valves sent to me.

I dont know that much about the supertech springs and retainers. I know a few people that use them. If i was interested in either jg or supertech I would call up to each mfg and talk with them about their products.

I can prolly guess who is trying to sell you those parts

if he says "cause leslie durst runs it" it does not mean that it is designed for a street daily driven setep. leslie runs a 290+whp race motor that goes alot higher rpm than you will ever see on purpose.

dont think that because some pro racer runs a part, that it great for your application. sometimes it is, and sometimes it isnt.

you really need to do your research about what it good and bad. talk with head porters that know their **** and sell/install 2-10 sets of valves/valve springs a month

they prolly have flow tested different valves, and tested the spring both in the shop and on the dyno

there is way more to a good spring/valves/retainer than if it lasts a bunch of miles. just cause it works, doesnt mean its the best product for you.

They are both made in Argentina, but supertech do not make Ferrera valves. I dont even think they are made in the same plant. But I think that both companies are both on the same street from what Ive been told, Supertech and Fererra that is.

 

All SuperTech valves come with a second cut (backcut) at no extra charge.

gee earl, someone needs to write valves 101 or just valve basics.

most people dont even know what a backcut is and that its beneficial

 

Well it seems that super techs are the way to go.....I sure hope so..

 

I am running supertech valves in my car. I have had good luck with them so far.

Supertech Valves
Skunk2 Ti Retainers
and Mugen Valve Springs for myself. (they were cheap... bought them from a friend. )

Yep.

I paid about 150 bucks for them so I figured why not.
