Default Need spring recommendations for this cam

I was recommended a 222/222 .597”/.597” 110LSA +0 cam from Patrick G for my setup. He recommended PAC 1518 beehives or TEA Gold Duals springs. I was just wondering if there are any other equivalent springs from different manufactures that would work with this cam. It’s a stock LS1 engine with stock heads. Thanks.

Pac 1518's will do you more then good. I'm running them on my EPS 226/230 cam. Great springs.

I'm running Patriot gold on a 222/222 NZ Cam, but listen to Patrick, he's the cam guru here. You really didn't even need to start this thread.

PAC 1518s would do the trick. If you wanted the security of having a double spring you could go with Lunati dual golds for about $220. I have run both and have had good luck.
