Default Patriot Xtreme Gold Springs Have Arrived !!

We just received our new Patriot Gold Xtreme Springs. Guys these look great and turned out just as we designed them. We have tested several of these and the pressures are right on the money... 155 @ 1.800" and 410 @ 1.140".

As you can see from the pics, the outer spring is Patriot Gold while the inner spring is a polished silver. These springs have been specially designed for the needs of the LS community. They were designed and manufactured from chrome silicon vanadium material with proprietary thermal process. For our customers who wish to upgrade from our Patriot Gold springs, all that will be needed are the springs. Your current hardware will interchange. We do have several thousand in stock, but please get your orders in quickly. These are selling at a rapid pace (many to other head porters).

The Patriot Gold Xtreme series is of the same high quality of our Original Patriot and with added performance for more aggressive cams, boosted applications, etc.

The springs only will be $165.00.

Newbie question but are there any advantages to using these springs with a MS4 or TREX cam over whats currently available, would they last longer?

The new springs have a higher seat pressure and are rated at .660 lift, which will help with the more aggresive lobes these cams use (LSK lobes). This will help the springs last longer using the LSK lobes and take a little bit more of a beating.

If thats true that they last longer with a more agressive cam than it deff sounds like money well spent.
Thanks
