Default CombinationMotorsports springs $200- good springs

Cmotorsports has a great deal on some new springs that they are entering into the market. I'm not sure who makes them but they claim to have tested them in two cars that are shifting over 7k rpms with 620+ lift cams. This was on their GP post. They did not say wheter they were single or duals but the price is great. At an introductory price they have the springs, tit. retainers and seats for only $200.
I'm probably going with the TR230/224 and didn't want to go with the Comp 918's. I wanted a dual spring since everyone says the thunder cams are hard on them because of the fast ramp rates. The revs are $351 for everything and the crane kit is $362. The 918's btw are $326. You can get their kit, pushrods and 1 of about 100 cams for $600! I want to do this but at the same time I don't want to be a guinea pig for springs either. I will only be shifting at 6600 too, not 7100 or 7200 like they are. What to do??
They have pics up on the thread if you want to see them.

Found this doing a search. I'm going to try these out. I just ordered them and will be running .615 lift at over 7k rpm.

I posted this info about a month ago, but no one responded. I guess all you guys like paying 300+ for springs and retainers
I have a set on my new 6.0 heads and they will be worked out with my cam and my rev limit. I am also FI'ed so that should put a little more strain on them.
Run a search on frcefed98 and you will find out a little more info about these springs in that post. Seth over there is a super nice guy and will answer any question you ask and give you some advice on your combination. The link is in my sig

Usuall you pay for what you get but lets give these a try and see how they do. They may prove to be a great setup.

I ordered a set. Actually normally you pay for advertising and markup, etc. It's the retainers that are actually so cheap here anyway. They are CNC'd. Not likely to be messed up.
