Stock springs have 78-82lbs of pressure seat pressure on
average at 1.380". If you are over 50psi (boost or drive presure) and
3,800 rpm, stock springs do not fully control the valvetrain. This allows a few
negative things to happen. First, valve float, which can cause serious damage
to the valvetrain. Second, intake and exhaust valves can be blown open by boost
and exhaust drive pressure which allows reversion. Reversion can hurt your
power potential by allowing exhaust gasses to enter the cylinder on the intake
stroke. Inert gasses in the exhaust, when re-introduced into the cylinder
shield the fuel particles from oxygen in the cylinder.
This does a few things that negatively affect power. It increases the time
delay from start of injection to start of combustion, it decreases the maximum
pressure and maximum temperature reached in the cylinder and it increases the
total time needed to completely burn the available fuel. Correct valve spring
pressure is a very important piece of power production. If you are running a
tuner on an otherwise stock truck with a VGT charger, based on exhaust drive
pressure, you need these.
We suggest them if you are over 50lbs. of boost(or drive pressure) or over 3800
rpm or when running aftermarket camshafts. We recently slightly lowered the
pressure on our springs from 110# to 103#. If you are running over 4,500 rpm
with a large cam, we suggest going with our 103# springs with different
processing for better longevity in extreme applications as well as our
light-weight 4130 or titanium retainers.
