this is true, just be careful when you let your buddy barrow your truck.

If you go with the 4gsk put in the 60lb valve springs or else your stock valve springs will float, if your going to do it might as well do it right and finish the job instead of just putting in the gsk and having to mentally control yourself and anyone else you drives it to not go over x amount of rpms

Unless your sled pulling or drag racing i dont see the point in getting heavy valve springs. If your driving around town floating the valves all the time then you need more than valve springs you need a brain. ( not you specifically ) just people in general. I love the throttle response with my 4000gsk. and im not towin a trailer at 3500-4000 rpms so i dont need them. imo
