I was going to run them but I got a deal on some socal ones. They don't come with retainers you have to use your stock ones if I remember right

Jeff is gonna put hamilton or comp cam springs in mine I cant really remember which set made the cut to go in

I should have asked Jeff when i was in there yesterday but he was busy.

I have Hamilton springs on mine.

Thats cool, Raymond I was the young dude you bought the blue duramax off of. Don't know if you new that or not. Wish I could have BS'd with you at a few pulls last year. You must stay mostly south east as I don't see you around the central area?

 

[White Duramax]

Yea I remember. I mostly pull the west side of Ohio and eastern Indiana.

What RPM's are you guys figuring require different valve springs, or is it a certain boost pressure?

 

[ecc_33]

A mixture of both or when you have to build a engine. I couldn't shift my stock engine at 4200rpms anymore becuase the valves would float. I was just shy of 39 psi. My engine has seen 4850 numerous times but only had 49,250 miles on it when i pulled it out. Over a period of time with bigger turbos + high rpm's they just got weak.

We're you guys reusing your stock retainers, buying new stock ones or whose retainers did you use with these springs?

Reuse your stock retainers.

Ok sweet, thanks. Is there a titanium retainer for the Hamilton springs or are they not needed with this design?

 

[x MadMAX DIESEL]

The stock retainer works just fine with it. They are built with that in mind. That's what I run too

We use Hamilton valve springs on most of our builds.

I bought the Hamilton springs just didn't know what retainers to use. My motor should be done in the next few weeks.
