993 valve springs in 964 head?
I bent some exhaust valves on my track car and while I was in there
I had some 993 valve springs installed that measured 20% stiffer. They fit nicely so we decided to use them. I don't plan on messing with the rev limiter but, I'm curious to know how many RPMs of guard band did I buy myself. So what does a 20% stiffer spring buy you all else longblock wise being a stock 964 engine. The engine has ITBs, fuel injection, and fabspeed headers with a Motec ECU. Original 3.8 engine was pushing 400HP -- so the 964 setup has plenty of external bandwidth. I could have purchased various racing springs -- but we were tight on time to get it put back together and I already had some 993 valve springs that came from the original race engine that was in the car. thanks, Mike
