dual valve spring?
is it ok to put a set of dual springs rated for 660lift on a cam with about 580lift? im not sure if it will cause abnormal wear verses a lower rated spring.

I love the idea of dual springs for insurance. But, why go with a spring rated for so much more lift than you need?

it will, in fact, cause unnecessary stress on the rest of the valvetrain and induce valvetrain instability. and eat a little power in the form of parasitic (frictional) loss. as to insurance, duals are just as likely to fail as a good beehive. most knowledgeable builders recommend the least amount of spring necessary to do the job.
