New valve springs with Turbo Setup? I've heard that at 5psi, our cars are subject to "valve float." I'd like to know what valve springs everyone is using. I know that Texas Rear Turbos sells new springs with titanium retainers for like $250. Should I go with those or is there a better option or cheaper option. Thanks guys.

LS1SpeedInc had to shim my Patriot Gold Dual Valvesprings to get the appropriate seat pressure....i have a 224/224 .561/.561 114 LSA cam.

Bob, I was hoping you'd call me today...I left a message around lunch time. I went ahead and bought the springs though. Do they come with any instructions on install?

Except I live in Texas and would be subject to sales tax :o(
TRT, I tried calling you guys this week and no one answered, and I've sent about 3 or 4 emails with no response EVER. I decided to go with someone else because of the lack of service...sorry.
