I'm using PSI 1225's good for .700". These are for .100" longer valves though. 1.950" install height I believe. I'm also using delwest "super light" titanium retainers. It's high dollar stuff, but should keep the bigger valves under control.

Will his head fit that spring? CV also has a PSI LS 1512 that is rated for .65 but looks like it can be stretched to .67. 1.27 diameter and special surface finish. However, I wouldn't be surprised if they are $500-600/set.

Yeah, the PRCs are rated for .660 however im not entirely comfortable using them maxxed out. But your only option may be milling out the valve spring seats for larger diameter springs...

I'm using the Patriots with my .641/.646" cam and I haven't had a problem. I obviously don't have them shimmed at all.

The PRCs are rated .660 instead of .650 because I believe their retainers are a bit different and locate the spring slightly higher.
