CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Valve Spring Pressure

Spoke to COMP today, they are claiming that the lobe is so aggressive I need to get a different spring that is going to allow me the same open pressure, but within .050” of coil bind. He claimed that the spring is most likely doing the hokey pokey since it’s about .400” from coil bind, and not designed to work there. I thought pressure was pressure, but is this something that could actually be going on and therefore causing such an issue?
