Went out today to see Chris and Dave run.....bloody great times by both of them. I knew Chris ran a new PB when he was coming back around the return track with his fist pumping out the window.
Today was a LS1 meet. I got there expecting the place to be full but there was bugger all there. Would have been maybe 30 cars max and there were times when no one was running. Some of the LS1 guys were just doing laps. You could've had as many runds as you wanted out there today. Only problem was there is no time boards at AIR and there was no comentator calling out the times. There was a guy out there who has a VY SS that sounds like a door slammer.....he ran a 10 flat at 141 mph.

Yes I'm not sure either. They say valve springs are there for reliability but unopened should be 100% unopened....no internal bits touched, and proves how reliable and strong the donk is too |

All this talk of 'Valve springs' and "unopened" leads me to the belief that the Boss V8's don't need their valve springs changed? Correct?
On another note, it's probably something we shouldn't really care about, i mean it's only valve springs right? all the turbo guys here have to change their valve springs |

My deal on this is "UNOPENED" means using bolt on enhancements only ie: Exhaust, CAI, Underdrive Pulleys, Throttlebody spacer etc.
When you change valve springs that means the rocker covers have come off and the engine is OPENED...... |

its a very big job to replace these springs on the quad cam engine.. . the Boss 290 has much better valve springs, the xr6t guys have used these springs in there engines as well..
