I had to talk to them in person to get the correct answers. The website
doesn't have all the personal information. Both techs that I had spoken
with recommended the Valve Springs with the 1.7's as an added safety factor
for high rpm's. With a higher ratio rocker arm, you don't want to take a
chance with Coil Bind...especially at anything above 5000rpm.

I did not see anything on thier website which suggested the need for new
springs, or pushrods unless used over 5500RPM's, my redline is at 4700RPM's
so I don't see how it would be safe to rev my engine that high.
