Valve Springs
IntroductionMajor BrandsBloxBLOX Racing valve springs are wound using super clean, chrome silicone alloy. These valve springs are designed and engineered for both high performance street driving and all-out racing conditions. Each set provides maximum lift while preventing valve float and helps counter the effects of spring surge. These are perfect for naturally- aspirated and forced-induction engines. Easy installation, no machining is required. Highly recommended for aftermarket, performance camshafts. For maximum results, use with BLOX Racing Ti retainers and high compression valves Products
Skunk2Skunk2 Racing valve springs have been developed as a result of our experiences in drag racing and touring car racing. Tuner Series springs are made from super clean chrome silicone wire milled in Japan. High-Rev Dual Valve Spring KitsSkunk2 designs, develops and tests all of our valvetrain components in-house to ensure the highest quality and greatest performance gains. During development, all valvetrain components are tested in engines both on the dyno and on the road. Manufactured from the best materials available, our valvetrain components provide exceptional performance, reliability, and quality. Skunk2 valvetrain components are standard issue on all the project cars and race cars we build and support, and are available in our premium Pro-Series line and our Tuner Series line, both offering exceptional performance, reliability, and quality. For vehicles factory equipped with “single” valve springs, Skunk2 offers a high-rev dual-valve spring kit. Dual valve springs are superior to single valve springs at high rpm because the inner and the outer valve springs have different natural harmonic frequencies that help dampen each other and prevent spring surge. Each kit comes complete with new springs bases, valve springs, and titanium retainers. THE IMPORTANCE OF VALVETRAIN WEIGHT REDUCTION Many enthusiasts may wonder why Skunk2 spends so much time and effort into designing valvetrain components with reduced weight. Why is it so important for us to chase after grams? Without getting into the mathematics we thought we would try to provide enthusiasts with a simple explanation. By replacing Stock valvetrain components with Skunk2 Valves, Valve Springs, and Retainers reciprocating mass can be reduced by an average of 12-14 grams. 1 gram is equivalent to the weight of a paper clip, which may not seem like much weight, but at 9000 rpm, 14g result in a force of approximately 32kg or 70lbs. Reducing the force that the spring needs to control greatly improves valvetrain stability, high rpm performance, and power output.

Skunk2 Racing valve springs have been developed as a result of our experiences in drag racing and touring car racing. Tuner Series springs are made from super clean chrome silicone wire milled in Japan. By using inner and outer valve springs with very different natural frequencies and also using a slight interference fit between the two springs, tuner series valve springs prevent valve float and maintain valvetrain stability at over 10,000 rpms. Tuner Series valve springs are designed for use with Skunk2 Ti Retainers on Street/Race vehicles running moderate to high lift cams. SpecsPro Series Valve SpringsSkunk2 designs, develops and tests all of our valvetrain components in-house to ensure the highest quality and greatest performance gains.

Skunk2 Pro-Series valve springs are simply the best valve springs in the sport compact market. Pro-Series valve springs are designed to handle the demands of extreme lift camshafts running at the prolonged high rpms of professional championship level racing. We have tested the Pro-Series valves springs up to 11,000 rpm. The Japanese milled super clean chrome silicone wire is 100% eddy-current inspected before coiling. After the spring is coiled, it is heat treated, shot-peened, and further enhanced with an advanced proprietary chemical polishing and nitriding process. The end result is a lightweight valve spring that will safely accommodate high lifts and has superior resistance to load loss even under extreme operating conditions. This type of performance is only possible because of the additional processing and stress relieving that goes into Pro-Series valve springs allowing us to use less coils. The Skunk2 Pro-Series valve spring is the only valve spring designed for use with Skunk2 Pro-Series camshafts. SpecsSpecs and web resourcesProducts
