Stock Valve springs (in your case, Dseries valve springs) are not designed to move as fast as a shot of Naws is capable of making them move - therefore, its a good idea to upgrade this so you dont get valve float.

BTW, its always a good idea to use performance springs with performance retainers.

I'd be willing to bet some CTR springs and Retainers (since they are good till 9k rpms) would be a great "inexpensive" way to beef up your valvetrain to handle more nnnnaaaaawwwwwwssssss.


absolutely NO disrespect, but what you are saying is sillly..

i KNOW people who have run wet 100 shots on y8s.... for quite some time.. with NO internal work.. and the car ran great.. ive installed SO MANY nitrous kits on hondas and only a couple were built... and they all respond the same to reasonable shots... the problem with nirous NORMALY is not the motor.. its lack of fueling... which leads to detonation...
