Finally a Drop In, VCT Friendly Valve Spring for the GEN 3 Coyote, 5.2L Voodoo and Predator Engines that can handle more than stock lift. These Springs are designed to be used with both stock and aftermarket camshafts. The main focus of these springs is to be able to support both higher than stock RPM and boost pressures, without beating up the phasers or needing to lockout the camshafts.

We recommend these valve springs for street / strip applications running no more than 25lbs of boost and a max lift of .625".

Both the Ferrea and Comp Cams Valve Spring Kits require different valve spring retainers, valve seals, valve spring locators and have too much spring rate for the factory VCT Phasers. Both of these kits use ID locators which require a standard metal clad valve seal (import style, non top-hat) and larger than stock retainers which just adds weight.

The MHS-702623-32 and the PAC-1281X have similar pressures, both with a slightly lower spring rate than the stock spring.
The MHS Spring is lighter and capable of more valve lift, while having very similar pressures. In fact, these springs have the exact same nose pressure at .200" lift. Both are a drop in design and VCT friendly.

Weights: There is much more to valve train stability than seat and spring pressures. When adding any type of variable valve timing in the mix, it gets even more complicated. When spring pressures are limited, the next step is to lighten the valve train up.
Our spring is 5.5g lighter than the PAC-1281X and 9.6g lighter than the OEM GEN 3 Spring.
When comparing the MHS Springs with our 6AL-4V Titanium Retainer to the OEM Spring / Retainer combo, there is an average total weight savings of 12.6g - Thats 50.4g of valve train weight savings per cylinder!
