U need to get a custom retainers from Andy,He's done alot of R&D on this setup and has had good results.

Just broke a 2ND REV 1116 Valve spring, this is crap Im so burnt. Friend just took 99 blue hardtop vette to LACR Palmdale dragstrip last night.
my buddies wife drove the vette up, she said it made a funny noise on the way there.
Started it, seemed fine,wasnt missing.
Went out to make a pass, ran a miserable 13.6@100 mph (over a second slow).
Running horribly, limped it down to R&E racing. It was found to be a broken REV valve spring. Ive got 2000 miles on this set, and this is the 2nd one thats broke.
This is total Bullsh-it. I missed racing all today at the Corvette Challenge event because a company cant make a decent set of valvesprings.

Re: Just broke a 2ND REV 1116 Valve spring, this is crap Sorry to hear that. I just broke my first Erson spring three weeks ago. They were in for about 19K miles. I was going to put the rev springs in, but oppted for the Isky's. There is a 1000 miles on them and no problem yet. THey were expensive though. I live in the valley and go to Palmdale also. How often do you go?
