Honestly haven't looked at prices, but I bought a used set of Socal's and haven't had anyone with them. They have seen over 100#'s boost without issues.

Lighter valvetrain yet on 37's...


Starting to sound like Brian logic :rofl:

Im sure you know this, but I will say it for the benefit of those who don't. A lighter valvetrain works very well to fight high rpm valve float. While spring pressure is the only effective way to fight boost induced valve float, I would rather be able to keep the valves closed while running the lightest springs possible. A lower pressure spring will take less power to operate and cause less wear in the motor. There are several benefits.
