Default PSI 1511 valve springs.

I would like to know if anyone has had problems with the psi 1511 valve springs and about how long i should expect them to last? I bought the car and it had already had a cam swap done with a cam motion 224/232 .581/.595 114 lsa and just wondered how much longer they can be ran before I buy a set of PRC .650 from Teaxs Speed!

Why would you ever remove the PSI 1511 MLs and replace them with duals? The PSI springs are one of the best springs available for the LS1 motor and if you are not having control issues just buy another set when replacement time rolls around.

if im not mistaken PSI springs have a zero percent failure rate. I would say they are the best spring you can get for our motors

I agree with Vettenuts, going to prc duals would be a downgrade.

Alright thanks. Also about how long should I run these before replacing, they have about 4500 miles on them now?

Seriously check it at 10k? We are pulling springs every 10k now? I'd say run them 20k and check and if they are good run them 10-15k more and replace.
