Valve Spring & Pushrod Help needed...

Where can I find the cheapest Hardened Pushrods and Valve Springs to Support only 600 Max Lift. My cam is small and I am going for a budget build so every penny saved will help. Thanks guys.

You should check with the vendors located on the right hand side ... you are in texas so try texas speed and performance they will treat you right... they have a spring and push rod package that will work for ya.

Just start checkin out the sponsors on the right hand side of the page ... do not skimp on valve springs ... 918s have had numerous failures in the past...this equates to expensive repairs...do some research and check you prices with sponsoring vendors and make an infortmed purchase ...

Need the size of that cam, because 600lift on a cam is not that small. If you have a cam with 580ish or 590ish lift, get the duals.

Patroit Gold duals or PRC duals are a very good choice with a long life and at good price ... I have put 40K miles on a set from both companies .... one on a cam with .598 lift and the other on a cam with .588 lift ... both were still in spec when I replaced them ...

Budget builds shouldn't involve the internals of an engine. The end.
