question for Lonnie if you're out there..........
I was doing some searching in the archives, trying to find some answers to my miss problem. I came across an old thread:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I had same problem last year and replaced everything electronic on the damn car. The problem was valve springs. The higher the boost level the lower rpm the miss will come in. Lower the boost level it will raise the rpm the miss come in slightly. The sound is like a radical popping threw the intake. If this sounds close check the valve springs. I had that problem with the LT1 springs and the Crane 99838 springs. Changed to
K-motion K-750 set at 1.700 and the problem is now gone. The key was 130psi seat pressure not 110 like Crane suggested. "

I am at the same point. I am going to try a valve spring change for my 210/210 roller. I was wondering if your H-11 steel k-motion springs are still working okay for you. My car is mostly street driven, and I have noticed that most H-11 material springs are for drag race applications, where they use mostly Silicon Steel for endurance and street applications. Could be spring rate of the material, could be fatigue issues......don't know? I just wanted to make sure there were no longevity concerns.
I came across some Silicon steel springs that will provide about 140lbs on the seat, but have a lighter spring rate then the k-motion 750's. If you have a few miles on yours with no issues, I think I'll go the k-motion route.
Thanks in advance....................
