where did you get this information? and how can you make a such general statement about different springs ("most beehives") with completely different spring rates and coil bind properties?

Will,
We'll, I guess the rated max lift isn't everything then....

Nice job on the twin turbo, did you build that yourself?

How in the heck do you change the plugs? It seems really tight in there.

I like the way you did the fuel pumps and tank, if one of the pumps goes bad, you can remove it without taking off the tank again.

How has the twin turbo worked out, would you do it again or just a single turbo? How much power does it put out?

Thanks alot, it was alot of work, plugs are tight, but can be changed without removing anything...the front two on the driverside are the hardest, takes me about an hour to change them. If i did it again, i would probably go single turbo, but then again, its tough to say, cause the one off design apeals to me

Re: Max lift for beehives?

Wow, lot of misleading information here on the beehives.

.600" lift is not a problem on these springs.

If you are breaking beehives (even the 26120's) then something is wrong with the setup.

FWIW I've run hundreds of sets of beehives with high lift and never had any of these problems, even with "running a cam with a very aggressive ramp angle"

If they are set at the proper installed hieght then thats half the battle. I beleived the desired hight is 1.800" May cam a over that spec and never had a issue, bret set the head up and is completely right.
