I need to be Sprung I have a TR230 cam under the tree, some tr7.4 pushrods, LS2 chain, scroggins ported LS6 oil pump. Question?- What springs should i run?
I was about to order the 918's, but i have read so many threads in the internal engine forum i decided to post up and get some opinions. I don't want to spend $400 for springs and would like to use the stock retainers.
Any help would be great!!!!!

Go with a sponsor's dual coil springs. You'll be happy with them. In fact, I have a set for sale in teh for-sale forum.
And lastly, EXCELLENT cam choice. I'm sure you'll love it.

tit retainers would be nice, but like all **** they are expensive when you have to buy them. thankfully i don't have to buy my wife any unless she is doing a cam swap in the future

is there a spring out there over .600 that i could use the stock reatiners with? The max lift on the TR230 is .575, the 918's are .600 max. Would they be ok or would that be a little risky choice of springs. Any TR230 guys running 918's?

i looked at the patriot spring kit with the tit retainers, machined bases, locs, seal etc.
will that work with my stock heads and stock rocker arms? @ 255.00 seems like a good deal
