broken valve springs

What pushods are you running? With the street factor, what's your "normal" rpm operating range? Was the 1.7 rocker ratio taken into account when the springs were spec'd? With such a short time on them, I'd also be very concerned with valvetrain harmonics and bounce from too little pressure. I wouldn't expect use to break them. Heat might wear them out, but they shouldn't break.

i dont mind wearing them out, but i should not be breaking them. i use manton pushrods. 3/8" .120" wall.
