Product Details

The COMP Cams 26981-8 Performance Street Beehive Valve Springs are engineered for street performance applications requiring reliable valve control and reduced valvetrain weight. These springs feature the advanced beehive design that tapers from a larger base diameter to a smaller top coil diameter, reducing reciprocating mass while maintaining optimal spring pressure throughout the valve's range of motion.

Key Specifications:

  • Outer diameter: 1.240 inches
  • Installed height: 1.700 inches
  • Beehive taper design for reduced weight and coil bind
  • Optimized for street performance camshafts
  • Set includes 8 valve springs

Performance Benefits:

  • Lower valvetrain mass reduces friction and parasitic power loss
  • Beehive shape provides natural harmonic damping
  • Consistent spring pressure across RPM range
  • Compatible with performance camshafts up to moderate lift profiles
  • Allows higher RPM operation compared to stock springs

These springs are ideal for street performance builds, mild street/strip applications, and engine rebuilds where improved valve control is needed. The beehive design works with compatible retainers and valve stem seals to create a complete high-performance valvetrain system. COMP Cams manufactures these springs from high-quality spring steel with precise heat treatment for durability and consistent performance.
