What do we think of the stock springs on my 40k mile LQ4 @ 8psi boost? Need a set of 918's? Opinions? Stock cam mind you.

Valve springs are underrated when you apply boost , I would definetly go to a 918 or something along that line .

When I decided to go boosted I swapped out my 918s for Patriot Duals. Even with a stock cam the duals are cheap insurance.

I'd just go with the Patriots. I've sold countless sets with no problems.

I actually bought a set from you guys! Have them on a set of ported #317 heads that have yet to be run yet, the good ol heads going on my 408! How much are you selling the patriot dual kit for these days?
