Valve Springs

[madman1234509]

Trying to gather the last few parts for my 1000hp build. Starting to think about valve springs and possibly push rods. Going to keep the stock cam for now. Are there differences in the valve springs that the few different vendors sell? I had rcd before and have absolutely no complaints. Just wondering if there are any major differences. Lets discuss. Also if anyone has any deals currently on them let me know.

We offer different stages, with different seat pressure depending on the application.

So for a truck around the 1000hp range that is a street truck, stock cam, what would you suggest.

with stock cam but high boost like i assume you will be running i would say 1+ or 2, i would lean more towards the stg 2 kit to be sure there wouldnt be any issues. i wouldnt do any springs without pushrods also.

Yea ill probably ebd up with both. I only wabt to run as much boost as it will need to clean up the smoke on the tune ill be running. No need for 100psi if I can clean it up with 60

 

[NathannialD]

you will have to push turbos that size pretty hard with 100% nozzles. i had the same turbos long ago(s366 and a gt47 precision) with small nozzles and they really didnt clean up all the fuel.

let me know if you need a quote on any of these parts.

Do push rods reguardless. I got RCD pushrods and valve springs in my truck

I got my Hamilton springs and pushrods from Rudy. Still waiting to go in.

Digging this up; been searching but have yet to find an answer on the differences between one another.
Any reason why hamilton is better then elite or vice versa?
OP. I know you have a sweet build, what did you decide on?

I've used RCD in both of my trucks with no complaints. My 08 which I sold probably has over 30-40k miles on it by now with old school Spartan tuning and no issues.

Current truck has pegged a 100lb back pressure gauge, and also sees 65-70 lbs of boost on the street. Doesn't seem to have any issues as well.

I don't know if people have had issues with too much spring pressure. Maybe some vendors can chime in on the success or issues they've seen. I'm mostly thinking rocker or can issues possible associated with heavy springs?
