Over the years, the performance aftermarket has begun to truly push the horsepower limits of many popular engine applications. And with today’s aggressive cam profiles and innovative valve train combinations, engineers at COMP Cams® decided it was time to design a valve spring to reduce stress and increase valve train stability. Using a new dynamic modeling system that optimizes a spring’s design and pitch profile before prototype production, COMP® engineers were able to design and run through several development cycles before the first spring was ever even produced. The result was the most high-tech of all COMP Cams® valve springs, the #26926, a professional race quality, lightweight, small O.D. dual spring capable of high loads and an extended maximum lift.
Tested in conjunction with the radical COMP Cams® GM LS R ™ Camshafts, these high performance valve springs are engineered specifically for street/strip hydraulic roller, some solid roller and some solid flat tappet racing applications. Highlighted by a 1.320” outside diameter and .675” maximum lift, this lightweight dual spring features a micro-peened finish that actually reduces stress in the valve train. It has a seat load of 129 @ 1.835”, an open load of 470 @ 1.160” and a spring rate of 505 lbs./in. In addition, the small diameter of the spring increases harmonic frequency, enabling much better valve train control at higher rpm. And with a host of other unique features, these springs are designed for unmatched performance and durability.
Engineered with the new COMP Cams® GM LS R ™ Cams in mind, these springs are also an excellent choice for many other popular engine platforms.
