Hamilton says there springs are good to 4500rpm. They are the type I have and They seem to be doing there job well

hamiltons are first rate; no worries...

Yep Hamilton's are as good as they get, you'll probably find the % of dodge owners (besides 12v guys) run Hamiltons

I hope they do! I have them in my truck.

you guys have zero worries...Hamilton springs are great springs and can handle Smarty TNT race no problem....soon you will be able to get Hamilton cams too for even better performance.
no worries:cool:

Aren't Zach's springs the same as Don's?

no Dons springs are not beehive they are straight.

XLR8R 08-25-2008 06:08 PM

Oh OK - so they're ovate beehive... that's why the retainer fits better.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong but dont the hamiltons have a slightly higher spring rate than the F1s?

yes, F1's 93lb IIRC..and hamiltons are 110lb..

So would it be safe to assume that Hamilton springs accelerate cam lobe nose wear by 19%?
