This was a long time ago so I may be wrong.. But when I got mine put in I specifically asked them to chuck it on the dyno for that reason.. If your gettin em done at a shop, get them to run it up just to be sure...

Never had an issue. But with these cars stranger things have happened.

You don't need a tune. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/71421-valve-spings/#findComment-1052717 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are stuffing around with AF ratios etc it wont make any differences.
