Default PAC or ls2 valve springs?

Bought some springs from a member on here who stated they were PAC .600 beehive springs. They are in a PAC box, but the color and stripe on the spring doesn't look like a PAC to me. Any input would be great! The stripe appears to be orange

No sense discussing this here, take them to the local engine shop and have them tested for pressure.

I have a set of springs with the same part number. Got them from sdparts.com. I don't think they are sold with that part number anymore. Used them with a gm hotcam. Worked fine. I do not recall them havein stripes on them but like 96capricemgr is tryin to say. We really can't tell ya what they are by the pic. We need to know the pressure on them.

Back from the dead. Had the valve springs tested about 2 weeks ago and the shop said they came to 80# @ 1.800" and 240# @ 1.250" right before coil bind. Needless to say, that's a good ways off from the box showing 135# @ 1.800" and 335# @ 1.200". Contacted the seller, got no reply. I know it's been a few months since I bought them, but you think he would be a little concerned since he told me he ran them in a cam car and told me they were PAC's. I think he was just bullshitting to make a sell.

Has the seller been active on the site? If he is and doesn't get back to you post his name so other folks can ask him too.

Member: Intercooler2. He has not been on since I messaged him about the pressure check results, but I spoke with him back at the beginning of July and explained to him that based on research after seeing the springs in person and talking with SDPC they are not what he listed them as.
