You might consider our Platinum spring kit with steel retainers for $219 shipped. Genuine LS3 heads with their 89 gram intake valves can easily run the steel retainers.

There's a little more information here: https://ls1tech.com/forums/new-produ...its-219-a.html

At 380 lbs these are actually the perfect pressure. In the spintron testing we did, springs with less open pressure lost control at higher rpm's. And springs with more open pressure flexed the 5/16" pushrods and had less control.

I'm very fortunate to have had access to the spintron testing of these, and I actually sold these for many years while I was at TEA. When you look at cost, performance and durability this spring kit is impossible to beat.
