I guess we'll see if the max lift recommendation for those springs is vastly underrated

In case you didn't catch this already......update your springs before, well, driving it again if possible but DEFIANTELY before visiting the top half of the tach and DEFINATELY before dynoing.

your valves are prolly floating at idle. If your motor hasnt blown yet, I wouldnt start it again untill you got some double springs on that.

I am sorry man, but dont drive your car anymore till you get some new springs.. i dont know how the pistons have not Mike Tyson'ed the **** out of your valves and knocked the stems plain through the intake runners of your heads...


i am sorry but people like this should not be building cars on their own.. (i only hope a shop did not let someone do this to their car)

Don't listen to these guys. Rev the pee out of that engine. It will thank you for it.

JUST KIDDING.

You should probably refrain from putting the key in your ignition until you get some real valvesprings.

well the lift does hurt it A LOT and imagine all 240 degrees of duration just helping those springs along the way
