Default Valve springs

On a TSP 224 cam would there be a down fall in using the patriot dual .650" lift springs, would the extra pressure hurt performance or will it be fine?

Second question whats the best spring compress for doing a spring swap in the car besides the $130 MORE tool? Seen some that look to close the same but not sure? What are you guys using?

We have many customers who use our Patriot Golds with cams like this. They will work fine.

No prob running those springs on a mild cam.

I like the cheap larry tool. Last time I made a double larry tool that worked OK. I too think the crane one is the best.
