description Trick Flow Specialties Valve Springs Overview

Trick Flow Specialties is an American manufacturer of aftermarket performance engine components, specializing in cylinder heads, intake manifolds, and valvetrain parts for automotive enthusiasts and racing applications. The company produces valve springs engineered to maintain valve control under the increased stress of high-lift camshafts, elevated engine speeds, and forced-induction setups such as turbocharging or supercharging. These components are designed for engine builders, motorsport competitors, and hobbyists modifying engines for greater power output. Trick Flow products are commonly used in drag racing, circle track racing, and high-performance street vehicles.

help Trick Flow Specialties Valve Springs FAQ

What do Trick Flow Specialties valve springs do in a performance engine?

They keep the valves under control as engine speed and cam lift increase, helping prevent valve float and loss of contact with the cam train. Their important specifications include seat pressure, open pressure, installed height, and coil bind.

How do I choose the right Trick Flow valve springs for a camshaft?

Match the springs to the cam card, valve lift, installed height, retainer, rocker ratio, and intended engine speed. For example, a 0.600 inch lobe lift with a 1.6:1 rocker ratio would theoretically produce 0.960 inch of valve lift before losses and clearances.

Will Trick Flow valve springs fit stock cylinder heads?

Not automatically, because spring pocket diameter, retainer dimensions, installed height, and coil-bind clearance vary between cylinder heads. A spring intended for Trick Flow cylinder heads may still require different retainers or machining when used on a stock head.

Can Trick Flow valve springs be used in a street engine?

They can be appropriate for a street engine when their pressure and lift range match the camshaft and rpm target. Excessive spring pressure can increase wear on the camshaft, lifters, and valve-train parts, so the engine family and cam manufacturer's specifications matter.
