welcome to the world of tuning.



here bro, i will help ya out.



you need to call this number.

1-800-230-3030

tell em you need:\
2 checking springs
an adjustable length pushrod
a degree wheel
a dial indicator
a magnetic base



now, a side note.......

you NEED to know the specs on those frpp springs. you have NO CLUE if they are strong enough, and i doubt they are, since frpp only sells one spring that is strong enough, and it does not use a stock exhuast valve rotater.

the cheapo 110lb seat frpp springs are not enough. i *THINK* those are the "A50" springs..... the "B50" spring have alot more seat, and open pressure, and are the only alphabet compatible springs they sell..... not that they are all that however.........
