Swamps springs come with 15's and 30's for shims. That's why the price is different then just buying the springs themselves.

Yeah but for 175 .... spring are 90 and shims are 10, 30 to do it the right way

I don't know how much the shims are by themselves, but I wasn't meaning they are $15.00 and $30.00...

I was meaning you get two sets of shims...

0.015's and 0.030's. You can measure the springs to decide which to use or you can stack them and make it 0.045...

Yes I understand I'm just saying its cheaper to buy them seperate summit is the best price I have found then you have more flexability once you measure the spring height if you buy the shim kit. I know many people probably don't bother measuring. I know you do If I can recall I watched your vid. I just dont see where they get 175 when a pack of shims are 5 bucks.

I gotcha.

In my videos I didn't measure anything with the valve springs. But we do now.

Does away with the stock fuel bowl, adds a regulator and an electric fuel pump. Does away with the factory pump in the valley. Very good upgrade for sure for reliability!
