Default So what the valvespring brand of the day. Broke a K-motion today

I have a t1 cam, stock heads. These k-motion's have lasted a lot longer than the cc 941's did. Unfortunately it seems as if I broke another one this morning. I haven't looked at it yet, but the symptoms are the same. I am experienced in breaking springs.

What are the latest and greatest for my setup (T1,stock heads).

Thanks,
-Gary

I have been running the Erson valvesprings for about a year and have had no problems. After four sets of Comp Cams in two years, I switched.

I have Ersons springs in my set up... no problems after 2 years of racing.

The Rev dual springs (for stock valve spring pocket) seem to be doing pretty well. Supposedly MUCH stouter than the (new) 918's.

I'd like to still use the titanium retainers I have for the k-motions, so 918's are out of the question. What about the Manley springs?
