Usage

Designed for engines that see dual‑purpose use, this spring excels in street‑legal daily drivers that are also taken to the drag strip or road course. It is especially suited for Chrysler 426 HEMI, 383‑440, and Ford 351C/M‑400M, 429‑460 applications, where higher lift camshafts are employed.
