question : are the valves springs on xb9 and xb12 the same ?
this is my point, if an xb9 can easy run at 7250 rpm and some more
can a modified xb12 with stock cams and roller rocker arms run at 7000 without changing the valves spring ?
bye Alessio

I run >04 XL heads with XB valves and springs on my '97 M2 with the rev limiter set to 7000. No troubles so far, AFAIK the springs/valves are the same on 9 & 12.
