Default need some suggestions for springs

okay, i have a tsp 231/237 and a set of comp 918's - - which tsp recomends. i wanted to step up to a dual spring set up, which ones should i go with?

and i also want a new timing chain- - one that can take all the power i want to throw at it, and wont have to replace it

and a theromostat, what is the advantages of going with a 160 or a 180? and are any brands better than the other?


thanks again

jimmy

crane duals - 350 from tsp
rollmaster double - 75 from tsp

not versed in T-stats but which ever one you get make sure you change the fan settings either with predator/hpp3/edit/hp tuner or get a fan switch.

Comp has the 921's I'm not sure of the price ~$500 for kit or so that would work nice. I'd go with Crane duals like JRP mentioned.

Did the t-stat on my car when it was a bolt on car and couldn't find any hp difference on the dyno. I was using a manual fan switch. I don't think the stat will be worth much but it won't hurt either.
