would the patriot dual gold spring 650'' be a good choice and not to much pressure on the tr224 cam. still not sure what to use. 563 lift on thetr224. kind of like the earlier question. ive got manley 7.4s to.

I had the same cam and used 918s. Go with 918s and titanium retainers, will make for a lightweight, high reving valvetrain.

I ran Patriot Golds for almost 25K miles on my TR224 with no problems and the car ran awesome and made good power. Checking pressure showed only a few psi drop after 25K miles. Previous springs were bluestripe 918s that were down 20-25psi after only 10K miles.

I say use a good dual spring.

I'm using patriot gold dual springs with my TR224, my Patriot 5.3 heads that I got also have them. You just need to take the time to get the right pushrods + installing the rockers correctly to keep the springs quiet. After break in, my springs sound almost like stock.
