Does any sponsor have the PRC Golds in stock?

We've got plenty in stock of both the .650" and .675" lift spring kits, and if you prefer to order through any of our vendors, we can drop-ship for them at no extra charge, if by chance they are out of stock.

Yeah I meant to say patriot. I was probably drinking when I posted it. I ordered a set of the patriot golds from a sponsor, I am not going to say who, three weeks ago. When I ordered they didn't tell me they didn't have any in stock but did take my money. I had to email them a week later to find out why they had not been shipped. Now three weeks later I still don't have them.
It aggravates me that's all.

We dont carry the gold or platinum springs anymore, we replaced all of those with a new PRC .650" & .675" spring that will last way longer than the older gold or platinum springs. I think patriot sells the old style spring still, you might give them a call.

This is my situation. I have am going to use a TR230 cam. I bought a used set of TEA 5.3 1.5 heads w/ comp 977 springs. Thunder Racing suggests the 918 spring. They said the 977 would be "ok" if set at 1.850. I talked to Predator Z who said the Golds would be best. That's why I went with them.
I am in limbo I guess. I don't know enough about valve springs to make a good decision about them.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

The golds will work fine if that's what you bought. We designed our new springs to repalce the gold/platinum springs because some guys with aggressive springs were killing the gold/platinum spring. We went ahead & redesigned the Precision Race Components spring kits after a lot of engineering & spintron data. The result is a valve spring that will last A LOT longer than previous versions & not shrink when faced with aggressive lobes.

The single spring is also a good option. The 1518 will control that heavier stainless valve without any problem. The advantage to the PRC springs is the much longer valve spring life.

We're running a big single in my car with lift almost to .700..
I know some guys prefer the safety of a double but if your single is a good one and has no history of breakage then it's a moot point. Application comes into play as well.. PAC makes triple springs as well as doubles but you use the correct style for your application.
As far as endurance Jason have you guys done any testing vs a PAC 1518? It would be good information to show and see. Then you could put it up again their 1521 and report those results as well.
We're talking about whats best for valve control, swapping springs at 15k miles (if that when they start to fade??) should be considered maintenance. This should be about controlling the valve at hi rpms and then how long do they last.

Our EHT spring was tested side by side with PAC duals, but not the 1518's. The data we have vs the competition will not be posted publicly....we did that testing to ensure that we had the best valve spring possible, not to give anyone else free data or to talk trash about anybody else's springs (after all we offer the PAC line-up and others whom we tested against).

Its not about bashing another spring it's about facts and offering the best products for a customer.

If you have information that says your spring is better than a PAC then you need to prove it. We're talking about valve control by the way. Endurance doesn't mean thing if your floating valves. You can pm or email me the results and I wont post them.

The testing done was very expensive, and we paid for it ourselves. That data is not getting posted or PM'd, I'm sure you can understand that.
Back on topic now though. OP: If we can help, let us know!

It's very simple.... My job is to produce the best possible products for our customers. As a result we compared many different spring configurations on the spintron. The results of these tests was simply data for us & our spring manufacturer. There are many good springs out there, I just happen to know the new PRC spring kit is the best.
We tested our springs next to about 5-6 different springs/brands. The goal was to make sure we have the best products we can. The spring speaks for itself, any of the shops that have tried our spring kit has had nothing but great things to say about it. Improved pressures, better spring materials, & very consistant machining on the seats & retainers helps us to create the best all around package money can buy!!!
I'm sure you could rent a spintron if you want the data

!!!Off Topic Alert!!!
Jason, can you post the spring specs of the .650 springs? I just got some stg 2.5's from you and I was wondering what the pressures were. Can I take a MS3 to 7k without float using the stainless valves in the 2.5 head?

In no way I had my heart set on a set of dual springs. I actually thought a beehive spring would be better because if I read right it's lighter. If I went to a single beehive spring I would have to change the locks/retainers because the heads have 977's on them now.
I am looking for the spring that best fits my application regardless of what it is. I don't "have" to have the biggest baddest spring if I don't need it.
Thank you for the replies.
I did cancel my order today so I will be shopping for new springs this weekend.
