Product Description
GSC
Power-Division Beehive springs feature some of the most impressive
manufacturing techniques in the industry. Our beehive spring uses an
ovate wire which utilizes advanced material heat treatment methods for
superior load loss capabilities. What this means to you is our spring
has the highest level of spring load retention while still maintaining
good fatigue threw out the life of the spring. Only the best materials
go into the GSC Power-Division Beehive valve spring. Each batch is
scrutinized for tensile strength properties, ductility, inclusion
content, and fatigue toughness.
The
beehive valve spring shape has become the buzz lately. Some have
enquired as to the benefits of a beehive spring vs the dual springs that
are sold by others. While some might find that the beehive spring
design is new it has been used commonly in many OE engines as well as in
all of the NASCAR and F1 engines of today. Why? The beehive shape is
more stable than standard single or dual cylindrical springs. The
beehive design which incorporates an ovate wire is more than capable of
the performance demands that were previously only matched by a Dual
Springs. With the smaller and lighter retainer used on the beehive valve
spring allow for higher RPM and more valve control. So beehive valve
springs, with there lighter weight retainers allow for engine's to rev
quicker and maintain a more stable valve motion than the traditional
cylindrical springs of yesteryear.
Beehive Spring Benefits:
-
Rev faster
-
Lighter components
-
More durable design
-
Less stress on valvetrain components
-
Lower spring frequency for more precise valve control.
-
More valve control equals more aggressive cam profiles
-
All of these items help to return more power for you to enjoy!
The GSC 5041 Includes a
Beehive
valve spring set, and Grade 5 Titanium retainers You will use the OEM
spring seat. This
kit is capable of 11000+ RPMS, with as much as 12.1mm lift cams (net
valve lift max due to seal to bottom retainer contact). This is
a must have for anyone pushing the limits. If you have had problems
with valve float or throwing rocker arms this is the spring set that
will cure your problems for good..
