On the 525's valves are a bigger issue then the springs. But. call Tom at Champion Racing Heads near Daytona. 386 446-4488. He just worked on my 525 heads and very reasonable. They will check the springs for specs and won't sell you stuff you don't nee. Tell him Peter sent you.

However, the P/N is PAC-TVS1631 for the 525EFI. You can also use Crane 99896 spring set @ 132# @ 1.906 seat and 414# open.

I'm getting the impression thanks to many of you that the 300 hr target is in fact the 500 and it's looking like "it ain't broke...."
Thanks for the many inputs! I'm gassed up and going

Does this still apply for older models like 2000 hp500 or 97 525
