It's exciting news indeed. When you consider you can put the thing in and it'll work with the stock computer, that's sweet. I meant to call on pricing, but never got around to it. They also have the new type springs available for it as well.

 

Ya mean they have perfected the one piece spring????

 

Here are 5 other cam options for the hemi.

Just and FYI from a chevy guy.

Those are the same beehive springs that we use on the ls1 motors. I have them in my camaro with a 231/237 597/595 cam and they are still in there and holding strong after 2 seasons of mid 10 second runs.

 

Yup, works with the computer, but not the warranty.....

 

For those interest in some actual empirical testing of beehive springs (and other attendent valve-train components) and comparison to traditional, all out of proportion to the usual car magazine fluff, check out the September '05 "Popular Hot Rodding." Definitely not ones usual rodder mag crappola article. Worth the $4.00 any day.

And, as I've said before. Look at the complete dyno curves and be honest about how you intend to use the vehicle. Most don't need or use extra top-end horsepower, except in a track vehicle. To get that extra high-rpm hp usually takes a cam that sacrifices some low/mid-range torque. Bottom-line know how you intend to use the engine, buy appropriately.

Uh, and GMsucks: you spoke better than you might have known; yes, the beehive spring eliminates the need for dampener springs, so you were right, it is a "one-piece" spring.

All the best.
