Joel,

I have to say that I disagree with the statement "Double valve springs are a must for over 6 grand...."

The B20E ITB engine that I run has bone stock valve springs, mainly because the rules allow nothing else. The springs currently installed are 6 or 8 weekends old, which is a whole truckload of 6500+ excursions; several thousand of them, to put a number on it. The engine does not have a valve float problem.

So... while I agree that *good* valve springs are a must for 6000 rpm plus, I just don't think *double* valve springs are.
