I have a vf34 and 30. They are very similar, diffrences are the 34 is ball bearing.

34=quick spool

30=better top end

Correct me if I'm wrong.

From my understanding the VF30 is non-ball bearing, that's the only difference I noticed when I researched.

I've been runing a 34 for more than a year now. Don't worry, I know it's capabilities.

I was just worried because I read a lot of horror stories of VF30's and 34's not holding boost very well. Could just be a myth, I've never seen it in person.
