I'll be trying a set of these out on the latest LS6 style heads. I'll be installing the heads Wednesday or so and try to dyno either Friday or one day next week. I was having nightmares about one of my 918's taking a dump, so I thought these would lessen my stress level.

They look like the same spec but half the cost.

I'm not sure how they compare to the comp 921 spring.Both of the springs have close to the same pressure.All I know about the comp is what they have published,I have never seen one of them.
As far as how long they will last.The spring manufacturer tells me,in his opinion,it will last better than the others on the market.The materials ans process used to make it is the same used to make Pro Stock drag springs.

Kudos to Patriot for bringing another option to the LS1/LS6 aftermarket.
Will these springs require the special care most of the currents aftermarket springs do such as keeping under 2000rpms until full warm up?
Are aftermarket lifters required with the 380 spring pressure?
Thanks
