Valve spring pressure questions ??
First has anyone (themselves) pressure tested Comp 918 springs?
If so what pressure did you get at a 1.8" installed height? And what installed height are you running with them to give you what seat pressure?
Secondary question: Does anyone know the stock LS6 intake valve weight? and the stock LS6 spring pressure on the seat & installed height?
I'm looking for actual numbers measured here, not trying to figure out how to do something okay. I'm just trying to verify info against what others have measured.
For those that have any input on this, Thank You!
