Revolver valve spring/retainer buy is on... Need four more people!

The first 10 people will receive the Revolver spring/retainer kit delivered to you door in the Continental United States for $225. After the first 10, the price will be going up an undetermined amount. Payment will be via PayPal when the list is full... PM for more info. Pics in post #20...

This is what Revolver has to say about their product:

...with our kit you get a CUSTOM VALVE SPRING designed specifically for the Evo. This spring will allow you to run much higher revs and up to 14.0+mm of lift Our retainers are 100% chrome moly steel ( SUPER durable ) and only fit with our springs. I know what you're thinking.... "Steel??? why not Ti ??" Well after getting samples machined in Ti and weighing other Ti retainers out there we found them to be heavier than the OEM aluminum retainers. So we took a different approach - since we design our own springs we were able to design a "package" that has less unsprung weight than ANY other spring /retainer combo available. As we learned with suspension unsprung weight is the enemy of all things performance! Think of how many times, and how quickly a retainer and spring changes direction - its STAGGERING! At Revolver we can calculate just how much of the springs mass is unsprung. So while others might have a lighter retainer than ours but a bulky, poorly designed spring ruins it as a package. So with the Revolver spring/retainer combo you get the durability that you need in a daily driven street car with the lightweight rotating mass of a racing valvetrain.

I hope that was not an ignorant comment concerning the valve seal issue... or lack there of. It in no way motivated my direction. Hell, I installed my 272's AFTER that subject appeared. Actually, I would have purchased any decent set for the money... and my purposes.

The modulus of elasticity in tension, also known as Young's modulus E, is the ratio of stress to strain on the loading plane along the loading direction. This is a very important number when it comes to spring design. The Modulus for the wire that we call out for this design = 206844 N/mm2. No need to worry, we use a high TENSILE CrSi (chrome-silicon) wire, heat treat and shot peened properly as well. We know our springs! And thanks to Zues and all of you in the EVO community that have "run with the little guy", we appreciate it.
