Message: [QUOTE="V-Ref, post: 117006, member: 660"] BB-BTW, I'm here to learn...not sure where the cynical stuff came from. I asked your experience as it's tough to know the audience on these forums, unless you've been on here for years, and know who's who. About me...well I'm just a 18 yr old Husker that joined the Army 21 years ago as a helicopter mechanic, and now find myself as a Warrant with enough hours different helicopter/airplanes the Army owns that they think I should teach others. I think if it flies, I could at least get us from A to B, and have fun doing it :naughty: As a teenager, I got the bug helping my father put a 302/C4 combo in a 55 Ford pickup. I built a 460, and stuck a 460/C6 combo using a motor plate and mid plate in a F-Body mustang about 15 years ago. And now have come to think the 7.3 is a great place to burry a bunch of money. So if I were you, I'd surmise you're the smart guy on this topic between the two of us, based on the experience you posted above. I'm not even sure what's being argued anymore... Load transfer...thanks. So make me smart on this..... So I look up a Comp Spring...say the chart below... [IMG]http://www.compcams.com/Base/pdf/ValveSpringChart.pdf[/IMG] Make me smart on how to apply it to the following application....specifically how to translate "spring rate" to proposed boost/drive PSI. 75 psi boost/drive 1/2" of total valve lift what other factors am I missing? What relationship does the diameter of the spring and/or it's retainer have with translating "spring rate" to seat pressure and boost/drive psi? [/QUOTE]
