how much spring pressure is too much?
« on: April 30, 2010 - 02:15:19 AM »
The heads I have coming have pretty serious springs on them just reading the advert. If I am going to run a middle of the road hydraulic flat tappet cam, at what point is too much spring pressure a bad thing? I do have a set of hardly used 911 Comp springs that are on my 906 heads. I am not going to go crazy with lift, I am looking at this voodoo cam kit.

BTW, I am using Crane gold rockers with 1.65 ratio.

Contact Lunati to see what they require for the cam grind you have & test the springs you have to be sure they are adequate

I reckon your 911s would be fine on that cam with std rocker ratio but could be marginal with your 1.65 ratio.

Just my 2.2c
Burnouts are cool but Traction is the Action
