Default Swapping valve springs using current retainers

valves, or springs? Im talking about springs. I know i may just get the rocket ones since they not much more than the supertech ones but i just wanted to know in case. I didn't see any specs.

The one guy that would know is Brad at RLZ, MAX_CFM on here.

I'm going to guess you could use different retainers and springs. They all use OEM keepers.


If you PM Brad tell him I said Hi, Byron
