I would agree with that for SBF's....unless you're going old school without a spider and need link bars.

As for spring pressures, if you're just going to 5500, 170 lbs of seat is not necessary. Sure you can run 170/450, but for something that peaks at 5500 rpm, there's no use in adding more wear factor.

For most SBF's, even with the heavier valvetrain, 150-155 lbs of seat will get you 6 grand and then some.
