The heavy valve springs could also be for higher RPM running- stockers are only dependable to about 3300rpm or so. Not saying I havent turned more, but I wouldnt recommend it on a daily basis.

It is a shame you cut that mint core support to put the cam in. :cry: It looks like you have a lot of nice goodies on there though!! It should be a good reliable runner. Those look like chevy valve springs though is that a dual spring with dampner setup? What kind of seat pressure do you plan to run?

I will weld the core support back in and post a picture to make you feel better. I cant tell you the exact springs used. lol The builder is anal hush . hush. They are a single spring with dampner. Seat pressure is not super crazy I also have better valve seals installed in they some place.
