But the 1/32 of 1 whp is more important than reliability.

I just swapped a set of AP2 retainers this week. I couldn't pick up the 1/32 whp loss on my highly sophisticated butt-dyno

so would that be the same for TI valves and dual valve springs?? i wanted the dual springs to help prevent a possible valve float.
There's a reason why race engines only last a few weekends. Or, in the case of NHRA dragsters, a few seconds.
