quickie guys, which valve springs with my cam?? hey guys patrick G recomended this cam for me, 226/232 .609/.604 113LSA
now, which valve springs will go good with this setup? i will be buying this most likely from thunder racing (which ever is most preferred) but for sure i want to make sure they are dual valve springs, and i will be running this in california and it will be a cam only car! thanks guys

I compared it to my lobe list. It looks to be on XFI lobes. I'd still suggest the 918s as they are a really nice lightweight setup. If I had the choice between the extremes and normal Patriot springs I'd use the normal golds. I doubt you plan on revving this thing to 7k every day. The extra seat pressure is nice, but comes at an escalated wear rate on the rest of your valvetrain components. The normal Patriot golds will work just fine and give you a piece of mind against breakage being a dual spring.

yea thanks for the opinions guys but i dont think i will go with the 918 springs! i have seen to many failures on this site! i know i wont take the engine to 7k but i want it to be higher then stock 6200 but my main concern is the life of the springs an mostly realiability! is very important! so the patriot gold extremes! i guess!

The patriot gold kit comes with titanium retainers.
