But I, myself cannot comment on these for I have never used any of their products.

test out the springs mabey??

Personally, nothin against rocket, but id go with portflow until EF1 is more reputable.

 

I've got some EF-1 springs- they hold up very well. Spark plugs are a must have for everyone.... I know that there are some great parts to be had from the EF-1 camp!

*edit* it's not just the parts that are great, it's the customer service... I'd pay well over street price for parts, as long as I was getting the overage in customer service! Good job EF-1 kids!!!

Funny, I thought when our customers cars see 10-11k daily with our springs in a dohc head, and 10k in a sohc head it was proven and reputable.

besides a lifetime warranty what else do we need?

we are a newer company, we havent been around as long as portflow. portflow makes quality stuff, and tom will stand behind his product just as much as we will.

I would not trust everyone (including myself) when it comes to reading stuff on the internet.

Your engine builder knows springs best over 99% of people on here. we will be happy to send out a spring for a head/engine builder for him to look at. everyone we have sent out springs to, have been overly impressed with the quality and the way our springs compresses as well.

I hope that helps

 

ef1 is definetly looking like quality shiet...but i think i'm gonna wait a while to see how their cams compare to other companys...i haven't seen too many comparos w/ ef1 vsskunk2, ctr, jun or toda

well it wasnt totally stock, but i wanted to se if they would hold and they did

 

and people also need to keep in mind, there is no one from portflow saying how we arent as good as them or whatnot.

there is alot more truth out there besides what is posted on here, dont take everything you read here with 100% accuracy

you have to remeber, the people who have figured out what works good, charge for that info if they are a shop, or if they are a racer, they wont just give out some info that is great and no one else knows
