    I bought some of what he told me where 90lb springs a year ago. After what he pulled I tested them to make sure they were that before I sold them to anyone. Guess what? They tested at a whole 50lbs. I double checked the press to make sure I did not mess up when I set it up. So if you got springs from him be careful they are probably junk.

    I bought 105's off of him back in August, but I have yet to put the engine in my car (fortunately). It won't be hard to take a couple springs off to test them, but I'm unmotivated to tinker with that project right now as it is, and I ended up destroying my valve spring compressor working on a set of 130lb heads. I guess I'm gonna have to take a few off and have them checked now.

    Kinda proves good stockers will hold up to 1.9's tho. I was shifting a tad of 6000 with them.
