Current valve spring of choice? Whats the current valve spring of choice?
I'm running GTP Stage 2X heads, and a cam that is a tad over .600 lift.
It's time to replace my cam with a better & bigger one.. springs need to go as well.
TIA

2 for Patriot..
1 for VHP..
1 for Isky..
Like I said.. I'm over 600.. do all of the above handle that ammount of lift? Any of them require anything special over what I already have?
I've already got retainers, etc.. I hope that I can just replace the springs, and not have to spend extra on stuff I already own.. unless I HAVE to.

I have the Crane dual valve springs in stock, along with tit. retainers, and spring seats. They are good to about .650 lift and would work great for your aplication. Let me know if you need some!!

Another vote for the Patriot golds, the 921s are great too but as some said are a bit pricey. Just depends on what your looking to spend, either one will do fine.

springs We use the Ferrea dual sport compact spring, never had a failure. 175 lbs on the seat, 450 open. The comp 918 springs are one of the best out there as far as stability and control. Seen a lot of testing on the spintron.
