Manley valve springs vs. Comp cams 918's Comparing the two, with the Manley springs being much cheaper as well as the titanium retainers, which would be the best? I've ran Manley valvetrain parts on older SBC motors and never had a problem.
131-22408-16 Manley Performance Valve Springs, LS1, 1.437" diameter, Double spring with damper, max lift .600" $139.99
131-23623-16 Manley Performance Titanium Retainers for Manley 221426 Valve Springs (LS1 applications) $169.99
vs.
63-26918-16 Comp Cams 26918 Beehive Ovate Spring, set of 16 $179.99
63-772-16 Comp Cams 772-16 Titanium Retainers for use with 26915 or 26918 Conical Valvesprings $272.99
I'm running the Patriot 226/226 cam with a 585 lift on a 112 LSA
I just don't see how the comp parts would be worth the extra money, Manley is a well known company as well. Thoughts?

Nevermind, I just looked on Patriot's website again and he has the springs, titanium retainers, bases, locks and seals for $255.50 which will match my cam. Thanks though
