Question Beehive Springs

I read an article a few weeks back (can't remember where) about beehive valve springs that Comp Cams have developed. Supposedly they can handle the higher cycle rate of high rpms (less spring harmonics, or something like that) without requiring excessive pressure to prevent valve float. The lower pressure also helps with lifter life.

They were even discussing that with the lower seat pressures that you could get more revs out of hydraulic lifters while preventing lifter collapse.

Does anyone have any experience with beehive valve springs?

Thanks,

Greg
