This seems to be a concept not many people understand. Someone needs to make a pictoral diagram to demonstrate this. I would guess that this diagram would help your sales too.

We agree. Unfortunately we have a couple dozen CAD drawings in the queue with SEMA and Time Attack a few weeks away plus our big move to Sears Point and PRI in FL...

It would be difficult to photograph but a couple of years ago, someone on evom did a great job of capturing it on video where you could really see the impact and stem seal compression. Then we verified it on one of our bench motors.

Are the valvesprings/retainers included in this package from Cosworth as well or from other manufacturers? Dual valvespring design?

The WORKS V-Springs and Ti-Retainers are part of this package. If you wanted the Cosworth Dual Valve Springs, we could supply those as well. There is a price difference between the two (currently ~$390).

Once the cams are available will you be putting together a TR-340 type package for the Evo 9? If so, when? Thanks!

For the Cosworth duals and retainers, is there a need for any machining in order to fit them? Also, will the inner spring hit the valve seals?

All the cams coming for the 9 and no results. How can they sell (cosworth) sth. without some dyno proven numbers. I have a feeling that only the hks cams will put down good power when they come out.
