Let's get into the spring pressure discussion once more... Well. As it looks now, I wil have the springs installed at 1.87" height at 165 lbs. 435 lbs over the nose (1.27" height).

They used to be 145 lbs open and 380 lbs over the nose.

With lighter springs and hardware + the shaft rockers, my plan is that the spring pressure will be perfect (!). At least it's a starting point and there is no problem to shim the springs to 190 closed and 470 over the nose.

My plan is to order in the pushrods tonight. Any last calls on opinion on diameter? Thinking, personally, that 5/16" comp hitech will hold up to this. Or is 3/8" the way to go? (Both are cro-mo 008 wall thickness.)

Thanks
Rune Skiaker
