Default Valve Spring Q

Those anybody know, or is anybody out there using a B303 cam with factory springs. I ordeered a set of springs from summit, but if i can use the stock springs that came on the GT 40p heads I got I will return the springs i bought. 110.00 to much for a set of springs.

So anybody with spring experience, hit me back.

getting the right springs will be better in the longrun.
I used my b-303 cam with the stock springs for a year, and then I put new springs in for a year, and the new springs made everything feel more solid, there was less high rpm vibrations.

it raised the valve float to around 6k rpm

It felt that i would be pushing the line just a little. so the money is worth it if it will help avoid any big issues later.


Nothing wrong with burgin.

NOBODY BEATS BURGIN DODGE.


NOBODY.
