Simply meaning you have the right combination of spring, stress from cam, weight of components and driving skills.
No valve float and not overstressed.
That is pretty cool result for a record breaking car/driver!
Congratulations!

I have heard the PSI springs work longer than k-800 for example. I will try them next year too

I use the psi 1525 or 1525ml as the replacement for the K-800s
I have been using the 1512ml for a few years now on my street heads. Love them.

What are the specs of the 1525 as I can't find them on the PSI website  Undecided

Would the 1225 be a good replacement for the K800? I am also running 17mm of lift at valve with titanium valves.

Thanks,

Jonny.

1225 have more coil bind . so you need more installed height than k-800

Dear Udo

ML option is Maximum Life itīs a surface treatment like polishing and makes them less susceptible for stress cracking...
it was developed for endurance racing like NASCAR. And last but not least the shiny apperance looks really great  Grin Grin

Hi Shag

I love them too,and there is a real reason to love them... Grin
The 1525 (ML) is not only a replacement for the K800 itīs just the so much better option.
Because it has a much lower spring ratio of 393 lbs/in but a due to itīs bigger length a higher max lift (.750),
So you can preload them according to your lift to really high seat preassure without extrem nose preassure, helping the valvetrain being lighter and live longer.

Just for compersion
