are these the newer PRC springs? EHT .650s? I run the .675 EHT PRC springs on my TFS heads with good results with a aggressive cam, YT rockers, and 3/8 pushrods

Those are not the .675" lift EHT springs...they are a standard .650" lift spring.

Well, after running around the horn 3 or 4 times today, I discovered that this is actually a Patriot Spring Kit that's on my heads... Found out because of the valve locks that you have to get specifically from Patriot.

Sorry for the confusion.

We should change the title of this post
