Jumping for Joy
The scene was electric at LS Fest West, where off-road enthusiasts converged for a wild display of adrenaline-pumping action! From far and wide they came, eager to conquer the freshly minted short course. This track was no joke, boasting treacherous whoops, technical challenges, and heart-stopping jumps that launched machines skyward, holding spectators in rapt attention.
CAMARO MAN
If you ask car enthusiasts to identify their favorite ’60s Chevy, most will say a Camaro. If you want a more specific answer, you probably will get mixed responses between the ’67-’68 models and the ’69. Troy Leiphart is one of those enthusiasts who like the early models, because they are smoother looking than the ’69 and look meaner when done right. That love affair with ’68 Camaros started when he was a kid. His older brother Ernie owned a maroon ’68, and Leiphart thought it was the coolest car around. After awhile, money got tight for Ernie, so Leiphart purchased the car from his brother. Leiphart drove the cool Camaro with much pride, fixed it up and spent time at the drag races, where the car did well. Eventually the engine blew and he couldn’t afford to fix it, so he sold the car back to his brother.

Unmatched Valve Control
The lifeblood of any performance engine is valve control, and this kit delivers in spades. With spring specs of 155 lbs @ 1.780″, 380 lbs @ 1.180″, and a whopping 400 lbs @ 1.130″, you’re looking at stability that doesn’t flinch under extreme RPMs or power loads. The coil bind at 1.070″ is engineered to perfection, giving you confidence no matter how hard you push that throttle.
Whether you’re running a nasty N/A stroker, a big-boost turbo build, or just a stout cammed street car, keeping your valves in check at high RPM is crucial. And this dual-spring setup? It’s like having a bouncer for your valvetrain—rowdy but controlled.
Top-Shelf Components
Brian Tooley Racing doesn’t mess around with second-rate materials, and neither should you. This kit comes packed with:
- Dual polished springs: Designed for maximum durability and consistency.
- Titanium or chromoly steel retainers: Light yet strong, the perfect combo for high-performance applications.
- Valve locks and seals: Built to keep things tight and leak-free.
Oh, and did I mention it’s all designed to work seamlessly with stock rocker arms? That’s right, no extra surprises or costly modifications needed. This is a drop-in solution for 15° LS heads, and if you’ve got LS7 heads, just toss in a .045″ shim, and you’re good to go.
