We have the Z06 springs for sale all day at $57. Those should be good to .570 or so. If you want a better spring than that, we offer the PAC springs (SDL1600VS) at 122.95. They are good til about .610ish, but I would not go over that.

I would not go that high, I do not believe they will work. I would def go with the sdl1600vs springs. All of those springs are new.

We do take Master card, Visa, and Discover.

You can either call us up 1 800 456 0211 or go to our website and order them, which is where that hyperlink in the other post will lead you.

Thanks

DO NOT trust them that high. Although they may be capable of that, then do they have the right spring pressure for something over .600, which include some pretty nastly lobes nowadays? I would only recommend them to .610 max

Seems like a damn good price. $122 for new springs that will take my TR230 with ease (.581/.565 lift)

PAC's are good. I'm shocked nobody's dropped 918's in here yet though.

I have not looked at them, but we have seen some problems like valve float happen when you go too much lift, ie over 610 on the pacs we have. I would def look at spring pressure on those over 6xx and see if they are adequate like alot of the higher pressure springs are. That is the most crucial part.

Sorry to hijack, but are there any problems with running PRC .660 springs with a cam with lift right at .600?

none at all. those springs are top notch. they have alot more pressure than the regular conical (beehive) style. I would also def use them with the titanium retainers, i mean if you buy the kit, they come in there anyway.
