You can get away with lower spring pressures on lower boost settings. The seat pressure really comes into play when turning up the boost. Alot of people tend to overlook this.

On the box that the springs came in, there should be a sticker on it that has the specs of the springs. Should have lift ,seat pressure ,etc. There is alot of spring options out there. The stuff we do is based on individual build basis as to what springs we use. I recommend installing 1 valve spring and then have the machine shop do a seat pressure test while the valve spring is installed @ its proper install height. This is the only way to truly tell what seat pressure you have.

You may be able to get the seat pressure up a little with a shim under your current spring, however you need to know what you are starting with, or TSP may be able to tell you what you have. I would call them and ask what you have.

Oh yeah love Zippy's tuning! I have had so many people tune this truck here in colorado, was not happy with any of their results, even zippy's base tune was amazing lol.
