xr6t_ute, was that on 06/06 post vsprings or PRE. the pre 06/06 bf vsprings are the same as the BA motor vsprings.

You lie dillz. No there aint :D

[R-SPEC]

Good to see you offering friendly advice *Beep* You must have heaps of friends treating people like that

[ratter]

Only seen 1 BF need valve springs and it was using high boost with stockish exhaust

[tonyv]

my previous BA made 325rwkw on stock valve springs

Im just lucky I guess

Abuse? Theres no abuse there mate, just trying to inform the OP correctly. Ive taken your advic and tryed out this search thing, and you wouldnt beleive what I found. Thanks for the heads up. Xr6t_ute's provided one example already.

Then theres these.

02/06 BF, stock cooler. 305kw

05 BF 343kw

05 320kw

302

302 again

320

343

Without doing Cat I dont believe the OP will crack 300, but if he does do it I believe it should. Depends on the tuner/dyno/weather etc too though.

was kidding *Beep*, I know when I got my 1st tune almost 4 yrs ago on the ute the ba springs were playing up on 270rwkw.

Spoke to ford directly and found out that the valve springs are the same model code from BF to BF2 including the F6.

hope this ends the debate

[Henz]

OH SNAP

[TOUGHBFTURBO]

OH SNAP

although he did stress that the they are by far a quality spring and that high kms and abuse will cause the need for replacement.

maybe this is why the early BF's need them? assumed abuse and or high k's?

[Henz]

Na I knew this all along. Like ratter said, he sees them day in day out and has only replaced one set. So don't worry about them.

Are you going to do the cat?
