Default Lunati springs?

Anyone running these lunati dual springs? 73925K1LUN

Was considering maybe buying a set for an 01 Z06 I bought that included a new in box MS3 cam. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Good springs but the retainers are a little on the heavy side. I've had two sets with no issues.

Tooley's new Chromoly retainers should fit, Steve. That's the route I'm thinking of taking.

I like mine. Theyre heavy though. Had to bump the limiter down to 6700 cause they floated at 7000. I dont need to turn the DD that high anyway though

Are you saying he sells just the retainers?

But after buying Lunati's for anywhere between 200-220, and buying the retainers for 40, you'd come out cheaper just buying the BT Racing springs to begin with for 219 shipped.

And some very good info in here, especially the scale with the weight. Chromoly vs titanium.....

Those BT springs are duals correct? Didn't know if that was a misprint or if I managed to somehow read that wrong. That seems to be a great deal!!!!

Guessing those would work great with the MS3 cam?

Duals, yes sir. I'm emaild Brian several times this week. Absolutely GREAT to talk to. He saw my cam specs and said my cam with .631 lift will be just fine with his springs, so that's what I'm going with. 219 shipped is a damned steal for what you're getting.

That's what I was thinking that seems to be an excellent deal! Thanks for sharing the link. Made my mind up for sure!

Nope I've only post numbers form my car from 100% stock un ported, or milled heads in my build thread, or cam only numbers on my car. So there may or my not be even more power when you can do a VJ on the stock head and not do any porting or even blending

Ive made 470whp in my car with some 241s I ported with the stock VJ, that was like 4-5 years ago. I posted about that and sold them, Somone on here is running them right now. if you want to protest anything you think Im cheating, come to a race and put the money up, I'll be glad to take it from you.

440whp is impressive, that uncorrected or something. If its corrected we need to discuss my attempt to do that
