Since i am going boosted and running big cams(256/9.1) in my DOHC B6 would it be a good idea to get some aftermarket valve spring?? I am looking at the eibach valve springs!!

Just make sure that they are square and they still have good spring pressure. I'd spend the money elsewhere IMO.

You shouldn't get any valve float with stock springs. You don't won't to rev all the way to 8000 and beyond do you?

No but the redline on my ecu is being raised up to about 7400 rpm!! Will that cause valve float reving that high with stock springs??

I honestly think that you will be ok. You could also switch to the DOHC BP valve spring which has a rev limit of 7000 stock.

its 7800

im running a BP10 ecu and i redline at 7800. the stock valve train will definatly hold up. im still running stock springs. but for extra reasurance you want the Eibach springs. they will help reguardless. but the stockers will definatly hold up.

Ya, I don't know when I hit 7800, My tach stops at 7500 for a tad then I shift.
