It's (Dual) Spring Time

Comp Cams Street/Strip LS Dual Valve Spring

Over  the  years,  the  performance  aftermarket has  begun  to  truly  push  the  horsepower  limits  of many  popular  engine  applications.  And  with  today’s  aggressive  cam  profiles  and  innovative valve  train  combinations,  engineers  at  COMP  Cams®  decided  it  was  time  to  design  a  valve spring to reduce stress and increase valve train stability.


Using a new dynamic modeling system that  optimizes  a  spring’s  design  and  pitch  profile  before  prototype  production,  COMP® engineers were able to design and run through several development cycles before the first spring was ever even produced. The result was the most high-tech of all COMP Cams® valve springs, the #26926, a professional race quality, lightweight, small O.D. dual spring capable of high loads and an extended maximum lift.

Tested  in  conjunction  with  the  radical  COMP  Cams®  GM  LS R ™  Camshafts,  these  high performance valve springs are engineered specifically for street/strip hydraulic roller, some solid roller and some solid flat tappet racing applications. Highlighted by a 1.320" outside diameter and .675" maximum lift, this lightweight dual spring features a micro-peened finish that actually reduces  stress  in  the  valve  train.  It  has  a  seat  load  of  129  @  1.835",  an  open  load  of  470  @ 1.160"  and  a  spring  rate  of  505  lbs./in.  In  addition,  the  small  diameter  of  the  spring  increases harmonic frequency, enabling much better valve train control at higher rpm. And with a host of other unique features, these springs are designed for unmatched performance and durability.

Engineered  with  the  new  COMP  Cams®  GM  LS R ™  Cams  in  mind,  these  springs  are  also  an excellent  choice  for  many  other  popular  engine  platforms.  For  more  information  about  the COMP  Cams®  #26926  Street/Strip  Dual  Valve  Springs  for  GM  LS R ™  Cams  or  any  other COMP   Cams®   product,   call   us   toll   free   at   1-800-999-0853,   or   visit   us   online   at www.compcams.com.
