Less reciprocating mass and better resistance to resonance means the valvetrain stays controlled at RPM where a conventional round-wire spring starts to float — and float is what puts a valve into a piston.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe tapered geometry also lets the coils nest as they compress, giving more usable lift before coil bind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitanium retainers\u003c\/strong\u003e cut reciprocating mass further and reduce the load the spring has to control.
