Default Springs for a 231/237

What kind of valve springs is everyone using for the TSP 231/237 cam? I need a set that use the stock valve seats, yet are still dual springs and good for this cam.

Dual spring would be recomended, though 918's will work. I don't belive the spring seat is required for the Crang springs, and possibly not for Comp and Patriot as well, but might as well get them if you can, while you have it all apart...

You'll have to change/remove the stock spring seats with any dual spring and swap to the earlier style valve seal before they went to the integrated seal/seat configuration. I've used Comp 918's, Manleys, Patriot dual, and Crane dual springs on that cam with no problems.

I used Comp 918's for 9K miles on stock heads with that cam, no problems, no signs of valve float.

I'd go with the patriot duals they are just as good as the best dual springs like comp 921 but the whole kit is about half the price. 295.00 from texas-speed.

See I thought the spring seats actually press in, but I guess not, so it won't be as much of a PITA as I thought to change em.
