Brian Tooley, and your valve guides (which are in the heads arent going to matter for what you got going on).

Great springs etc, lots of people using them with no bad reports.

Thats a pretty open ended question. How much lift will you have at the valve, what kind of RPM will you be turning? Is this a street car, road race, drag race?

you are right they do look great and with the size cam i am going to run, (tr224) i only have rrom to go bigger, which could be bad for my wallet when i get the urge to upgrade. Anyway go with Brians stuff, you will not be disappointed.

I think my next set may be from him. Seems like he has done his homework.

Brian used to run Total Engine Airflow (TEA). He has been in the LS head scene since the beginning and has figured out what works well.

Agreed. Excellent springs, and the customer 1 on 1, help and support is nothing short of amazing.

Call Brian and he'll get you in the right direction with what you need.

I ordered my BT springs this past Monday and got them Wednesday morning. They have a kit meant for roller rockers.

If you have GM 243 casting heads with the original valve guides, those will be powered metal, not bronze.
