Its just part of the game really. Even stock valve springs wear out, but the low seat pressure and lack of RPM mean you won't see many stock use engines floating valves. If you cammed the same engine and tried to run it outright, you'd float very quickly.

I know the higher lift cams would need the higher lift double springs. I guess what I was trying to say is, If I went with the 228R would it be worth it to go to the higher lift double spring? Since they wouldn't be near as close to their limit, would they maybe last longer?
