Max spring pocket/seat cut depth?

Post by **SilverXJ** » February 28th, 2011, 6:12 am

Whats the max amount anyone has cut out of the spring pocket/seat or the usual amount? I know that you need to cut for Hesco's springs but I don't have a figure on how much needs to be cut out.

Are you going to run a different spring?

What are the spring specs? Will they work with the stock retainers?

That is what I thought. Just wanted to verify before something bad happened.

I'm asking SilverXJ.
It would be nice to have an alternative spring to use.

They are just the Mopar performance that I have been using.

Did you decide to cut the spring pockets? I also have the lunati springs/cam and they are coming in a bit to much pressure 135# at 1.65 - so he suggested .125 but in not sure the depth - before hitting the water jacket. .125 will work?
