People who are anti-beehive are just plain stupid. We spin our motors to the 7800 rpm rev limit using PSI 1511’s all day long. Lap after lap after lap. Fantastic valve control and I’ve never seen one fail.

I went to purchase today and they offer stainless valves or hollow stem for extra. Is it worth it to get hollow stem? Is it just getting more weight out of the valve train or are there other benefits? Thanks.

I don’t think hollow stem is needed for 7000 rpm. I run Manley stainless with BTR dual springs and have no sign of valve control issues at 7k
