Why would you be changing the valve springs to something stiffer when your not reving any higher than what stock RPM would be and you are still running sotck cams from what I believe?

97Cavie nailed it. We found that at higher boost pressures, the stock springs could not keep the valves closed at high RPM, even with stock cams. It has to do with the area on the back of the valve being affected by boost and turbine pressures. With Ecotec springs only having about 50 pounds of force on the seat, when you do the math of the area on the backside of the valve versus 20+ PSI, you can see there is a sharp reduction in effective spring pressure.

Bill,
You are running the single spring which is stiffer correct? The Russ / Ray special? Or did you go with the dual valve springs with the new Ti retainers and new valve spring seats as well?
