GSC Power-Division Beehive springs feature some of the most
impressive manufacturing techniques in the industry. Our beehive spring uses an
ovate wire which utilizes advanced material heat treatment methods for superior
load loss capabilities. What this means to you is our spring has the highest
level of spring load retention while still maintaining good fatigue threw out
the life of the spring. Only the best materials go into the GSC Power-Division
Beehive valve spring. Each batch is scrutinized for tensile strength
properties, ductility, inclusion content, and fatigue toughness.
The beehive valve spring shape has become the buzz lately. Some
have inquired as to the benefits of a beehive spring vs the dual springs that
are sold by others. While some might find that the beehive spring design is new
it has been used commonly in many OE engines as well as in all of the NASCAR
and F1 engines of today. Why? The beehive shape is more stable than standard
single or dual cylindrical springs. The beehive design which incorporates an
ovate wire is more than capable of the performance demands that were previously
only matched by a Dual Springs. With the smaller and lighter retainer used on
the beehive valve spring allow for higher RPM and more valve control. So
beehive valve springs, with there lighter weight retainers allow for engine's
to rev quicker and maintain a more stable valve motion than the traditional
cylindrical springs of yesteryear.
Beehive Spring Benefits:
- Rev faster
- Lighter components
- More durable design
- Less stress on
valvetrain components
- Lower spring
frequency for more precise valve control.
- More valve control
equals more aggressive cam profiles
- Nano Peened for
faster break in and less stressed springs
- All of these items
help to return more power for you to enjoy!
