REVs are okay, but not without their share of problems. I would certainly go with a set of patriot or PRC duals before the rev kit, force induction or not.

Don't know much about them specifically, but it seems that they have had a lot of issues in the past with breakage.

I lost one of my REV springs from a 2nd gear rev-limiter bounce due to tire spin. they had 12000 on them, they were doubles. my cam is a 224 with .563 lift. These were produced around 2003. Don't know is things have inproved. I use comp 921 now.

REV is a company out of China. I haven't heard any good things yet about them. On something this important, I would go with a tried and true brand of springs.

Doesn't sound too good for Rev. Valve springs aren't an area to skimp IMO.

REV supplies all the valves for the Dart heads.
