dual springs needed?
IS it necessary (or highly recommended) to run dual springs on a supercharged engine
I have a smaller cam (571 lift) with the PSI Beehive springs now, and with a new bottom end, will try to push boost into the 15 psi range.
What do you think?

For the price, I went with Tooley duals. I had a PAC 1218 snap and valve only mildly kiss the piston without dropping. But the single spring also had 3 years of duty on a .598" lift cam which was probably the most influential factor. Added boost and it broke.

Not a matter of cheaping out. It's a matter of choosing the correct spring for your application. If a dual spring isn't needed there is not reason to run one. Running excessive spring pressure is just a bad as to little pressure. I think it falls along the lines of "bigger isn't always better".
