Are you running them on that 224 on a 112 lsa cam in your sig? Would these springs have too much seat pressure for stock heads? I have the same cam, and would like to swap my springs that will last a little longer than the 918's when the time comes. I've heard nothing but good things from the Patriot gold duals.

Hourang are you still running stock lifters? The reason I ask is because I have a set of AFR's w/patriot duals coming and I don't want to worry about collapsing a lifter with the added seat pressure. When I swap the heads I will also be putting in new lifters, but they are Crane stock OE replacements.
