Possible valve bind
Correct me if I am wrong but does this constitute valve spring bind:
I am having some valve spring problems with my head, and that is keeping me from turning up my boost level (from 15# to 20#). Any time that I rev it above 4K, the damn thing develops a flutter that drives me absolutely insane. When the flutter starts, the boost goes to 5# and my fuel pressure goes up 6#, there is no power when this happens. This has been plaguing me for some time now, and I have gotten no relief no matter how many times I crack it open.
Any help would be great.
