Just went for a check recently and they were getting a bit tired so got a set put in (thanks Ian) and all is good. Didnt get a retune and got a p.b at the drags last night. So id say you dont need a retune, it will just pick up a bit of power up top if the springs are fuc*edShane Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/25100-retune-after-valve-springs/#findComment-378715 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that makes any sense! Chris Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/25100-retune-after-valve-springs/#findComment-378830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordak Member 1,226 Member For: 20y 11m 20d Posted 08/05/06 12:43 AM Share Posted 08/05/06 12:43 AM Mine started playing up around 250rwkw but only when temps were up.With the better springs installed and no re-tune the car is happier (revs freer) 4500rpm and above.No doubt your tuner could get more out of your car with the better springs however you might as well wait until you do further mods, I.e injectors,exhaust etc, before paying for another tune.
