Seems a good price.I was thinking of doing them myself, but for that price do you think it would be worth the hassle of doing it yourself.macka Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12593-valve-springs/#findComment-159762 Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the car is being tuned with more boost the valve spring will start to have valve flutter. Mine started happening at 12psi, which is good for standard springs some cars start at 8psi. There is quite a range depends if you got good or not so good springs.Geea.
