Default Valvespring selection

currently have a stock lq4 im gonna be putting 15ish lbs to on e85. what a good affordable spring to put on the 317's? i would prefer something more than ls6 springs cause i would like to get into a ls6 cam at some point as well but i want to get up and running for now. i really dont even care about putting ti. retainers on either. i want a drop and go type spring(obviously i'll dbl check heights and all)

thanks for any help

Yeah any of the small diameter dual spring kits are just about all you will ever need. For a mild LS6 cam, a beehive from PAC would be a good choice too.

Comp 918's.

I ran them on 15psi, 227/224 .56x/.58x 114 lsa cam with no problems at all. Made great power at 6500.
