Why do you say that? I run them in my own truck, and so do some of my customers, all without any troubles.

i have heard from several reputable engine builders in DFW that the dual springs tend to bind and break or bend pushrods as well as put way too much added stress on the rocker arms. i dont know first hand, thats just what i have been told

Plus the added weight of being two springs, as well as the added weight of the retainers.
