et al;
 Whippen assist springs are a boon to the tech seeking to maximize 
performance but they are just an 'incremental' help and not a cure all 
thingee. As in most things we do WAS must be properly regulated in order to 
maximize performance and can not be just screwed on and 'viola' all problems 
solved.
 Methinks sometimes we get too wrapped up in the 'numbers' of regulation and 
don't concentrate on how the action actually performs............generally 
speaking the better the 'numbers' the better an action will 
perform............but the BW/FW/SW/F are just indicators and not an end unto 
themselves. Like factory specs that won't work on all models, the 'numbers' 
of regulation are guides and we should not slavishly strive for 
them....forcing them to fit where they are not appropiate.
 Do not simply dismiss the Whippen Assist Spring thingees, for to do so would 
remove a valuable tool in our bag of 'tricks'
