Well, it's time to throw some springs and retainers in my head and go back to the dyno. Just want to see what most of the 400+whp guys are running for valvetrain. My setup is a 81.5mm sleeved gsr, je's, eagles, sc61, 880cc injectors, jg victorx intake. I'm aiming for 350+ on pump right now but I know soon I'll wanna push it a lil higher to maybe 450-500whp. i don't see myself wanting/needing anymore right now for a DD turbo car (i'm being serious... no 800whp goals for me ). Just wondering what you guys making power would recommend for my setup. The most I plan to spin the motor to is 9000-9500. Any recommendations, testimonials and "i know someone who..." are welcome.

right now i'm looking at crower, rocket motorsports, rev, ferrea, and skank2. i wouldn't mind your opinions on these brands either.

Thanks folks.

 

we run ferrea full valvetrains in both of our race engines and have had no problems in over a year. i spun mine up to 12k a few times, and the race car see's 10k every pass.

 

I use Rocket Motorsports in everything.

 

We use SuperTech and shift our race car at 10,500 rpm's

 

i use rocket motorsports springs and retainers in my ls/vtec

 

I aswell use Rocket motorsports springs and retainers and shift at 11,000 rpm..

that video scares me... 9000-9500 is fine for me. no need for 11k. that ****'s nuts.

 

well if it can take over 40 dyno runs at 11K then I would feel really safe at 9500..

Straight Rocket Motorsports stuff here for me. I run them up to 10k rpms.

 

revs are way to stiff...

 

SuperTech here

i just purchased revs for my race car, should i chuck them?

 

no keep the revs. you guys have to remember that you should choose springs based on your desired needs. i have some pics of a destroyed cylinder head that even with all the chamber damage not one of the retains or springs broke.

 

That video is awesome! I love the way it sounds. It's strange how it seems to shoot between around 7000 to about 8400 rpms really fast, then slows down. Did anyone else see that?

I run the Rocket Motorsports Gen 1 springs and Titanium Retainers with his M21 Cams.

 

well I ended up getting the RM Gen2's spring/retainer combo and Omni valves. we'll see how it works in a week or 2

 

SuperTechs here! Never had experience with the rest, but price and reliability it seems Supertech has a good rep.
