Could anyone recommend what valve springs I should get for use with the JBP Cams and a 7200 rev limit? Which supporting vendors have them?

 

Well theres the Ferrea valve springs, or the Bates Engineering springs. I'm still lookin at which ones to get.

 

Which vendor has them? On TTR sites, they have the dual Ferrea vs's, but it says that they can only be used with the Ferrea titanium retainers, is that true?

 

Dezod has Supertech ones which are excellent. I personally liked the spring pressures of them more than the Ferreas which is why I chose them. They come with titanium retainers as well.

 

I'll have to check them out right now then, thanks for the info to both of you guys. Any other suggestions or vendors with them, please let me know.

 

What the pressure on the supertech ones?

 

Cobalt Performance Parts I believe sells Ferrea products.

 

I am gonna need this info also. Hey Dan keep me posted on what's going down, I may need to figure out what I'm going to do with JBP's springs.

 

Ferrea is the BEST out there hands down. You must use the titanium retainers by Ferrea as the OEM ones will not fit the dual springs. We carry them @ www.TurboTechRacing.com

We have sold many many sets and everyone loves the quality and performance.

 

NJHK, I didn't see any valve springs on Cobalt Performance Parts' site. Maybe I overlooked them though.

Andy I'll keep you posted for sure.

TTR, I have heard only good things about the Ferrea valve springs, there just very pricey since you need their retainers as well. If I do go with them, I'll be sure to let you know. Are they in stock? I kinda need them asap. Thanks.

Blown-4-Banger, I'll have check the specs of those valve springs for the pressure on them. I'm assuming that Ferrea, Bates, and SuperTech will all get the job done with these JBP cams, correct?

 

Hey Dan, I also PM'd Cobalt Performance Parts and asked him about this. Thanks and I hope to hear some good info soon

 

PM Scott @ CobaltPerformance Parts cause he has alot of items for sale that aren't on his site just cause of not being able to list them or because no one has really inquired about them or wanted to purchase them from him.

 

I have Ferrea. I bought them from a vendor right here in Chicago. I got the name from Ferrea. I called them, gave them my location, and they gave me the closest supplier. Drop shipped from the factory right to my door.

 

I bought my Ferrea valve springs from SMG.

 

The supertech spring pressure is 94 lbs. Which is ****** good concidering stock spring pressure is in the 40s. At least mine were, I check them at my work and they were like 48 lbs.

 

Ferrea is 80 without the seats, 120 with (drag engine applications)

 

If things don't work out with the JBP ones, then I think the SuperTech ones is the way I'm gonna go. It seems like they will hold up well and are a great price. I know the Ferrea springs are great as well, but the price is a little too steep for my liking. I'll let everyone know how I make out.

 

The Ferrea springs would be aight and not too pricey if it weren't for having to have to buy the Titanium retainers also. lol...

 

You need titanium retainers for any dual spring set-up. The stock retainers won't work them. The supertech springs come with retainers though!

 

Those SuperTech ones seem like a dam good deal.

 

They truly are. With the 3 different variations of spring pressures, it's impossible to lose:

^^^who I bought mine from. The 78lbers will fit the stock seats no problem. Shipped fast, excellent vendor. The price listed is with ti retainers too, ftmfw!

 

If the JBP one's don't work out for me again, Dezod definatly has a sale coming to them. Thanks again!

 

DO NOT BUY THE BATES!!!!!
I Broke 4 of there dual coil springs now I have the ferrea, no issues

 

Yeah, I did Bates on my first engine and one of them broke, which destroyed everything.
