Default Time to refresh valve springs BTR or TSP EHT?

It's time to do a couple of upgrades to my car over the summer. I've got a set of TSP 2.5 LS6 heads that I need to refresh the original valve springs on. Current cam is around 600 lift xer lobes and Yella Terra Ultra Lite rockers.

I'm looking at the BTR max pressure kit or the TSP EHT spring kit any thoughts? BTR seems to be popular here. Car sees about 1000 per year.

I was looking at swapping the cam to a polluter V2 but now just thinking about changing springs and hitting it with a 100 shot from a halo bar.

Thanks

I've got stock rockers, so I'm running the Platinums. Only thing I'm aware of with Brian's springs is there has yet to be a failure.

Couldn't go wrong with either. Both have top notch customer service, from my experiences.

BTR Max Pressure would be the choice. But, really can't go wrong as the EHTs are 450lbs at .600" so that'll work with YTs. And since TSP has a .650" shortage, the EHTs are the same price as the BTRs.

Anyone have a tool to measure installed height I can borrow? I'll pay shipping. I want to double check the install height. Not sure if the BTR's are the same as the Prc golds that are currently in there. Ok saw the Prc have a 1.81 and BTR's have 1.8 installed height.

I assume the tsp heads I have , come with the iron guides? Some how I lost all the paper work on this motor moving into our new house.

Should I get a new set of TI retainers too?

BTR all the way.

not to mention Brian is one cool cat, very professional with heavy experience in the industry.
