What springs should I run? I have a Torquer V2 installed and the only thing I'm waiting on is springs. I know alot of guys are runnig Comp 918's, but what would I really be risking running those springs with that kind of lift (595/598). I'm not revving it to the moon, 6k rpms. So could I get away with it or should I worry about grenading the engine?
Im running 918's on a stock cam w/ 1.85 rockers lol. For your setup I would not do anything less than a patriot gold or the pac 1518. Valvetrain is no place to skimp... sell some old parts to help fund the new parts if your on a tight budget!

Look into the Lunati dual golds. Whole set-up for around $220 shipped. They might just be made by another BIG name spring maker in MI 
And I dont see a stall listed in your sig.

Well I just recently bought it for cheap because it was in rough shape and high miles. I'd post pics, but don't know how. After I'm done with the engine, I'll dig into the tranny. Then the rear. Hopefully by next season, she'll be up and ready for battle!
Thats a good deal!! I would say for the op to go this route aswell! Atlantic speed has the kit for 203.95.

I suspect they are made by PAC They have tool steel retainers which are similar in weight titanium but will last longer and is cheaper. And yes, $220 shipped is an unbelievable deal.

The reason I suspect this is 2 reasons. 1. A rep openly admitted they were made in MI, and PAC is in MI. 2. Lunati has PAC plastered all over their spring section in their catalog. I don't see how it could be any more clear then that.
