SBC Beehive valve springs

sorry,I was typing impaired. 1409s. Basically we run a lower rear gear and accelerate quicker down track than we could before. We also had experienced float at a certain rpm range and that is gone now. Lighter is always better. The pressure hangs in there too. I don't run any big pushrods so I don't know about that. I don't know if that will help, but it probably wouldn't hurt.

The only reason I bring it up is that I had some springs that were pretty good and I told no one. They were discontinued (such a big secret that no one else bught them either I guess) When PAC patterned some springs based upon stocker research, I felt it was worth talking about since they actually listened to some little guys interested in going fast.

Probably what you don't know is that they also make some pretty cool stuff that you can find on Nitro and Prostock teams. Some NASCAR stuff too.
