Hi, looking for some performance valve springs and retainers for the duke. Anyone know a good source? I did a search, but didn't see anything.

How high do you intend to crank the Duke engine? The stock springs should be good for over 5000 RPM before the valves float. At that point the Duke is past redline. If you intend to rev higher don't expect the engine to last long.
Another thing to consider is the higher the valve pressures the lower the cam lobe life becomes. If you are dead set on "performance" valve springs try Summit Racing Equipment. They carry most everything.

It is for a race car. In general, the duke hp curve shows that i will keep it below 5000...but the extra punishment on the race track combined the more likelihood of accidently going over 5000 is the reason for the request.

I'll give Summit a call. I was thinking the cam manufacturers, also, since they make them to go w/ their cams. I'll try compcams also.

Also, does anyone know a source of performance valves for the duke...maybe something in stainless?

It looks like manley will custom make anything. Does anyone have the measurements for 87 duke valves?
