Spring choices for comp LSR cam
Spring choices for comp LSR cam I'm thinking of running one of the new comp LSR cams, specifically the 223/231, .610/.617 on a 112lsa, in my auto 98' Z28. Comp recommends their new 26926 springs for the LSR cams (they were made for this lineup), but after looking at spring kits I found they were super expensive (around $450).
So my question is, can I run a different spring wth this cam (such as the patriot extremes), or is the pricey comp 26926 my only option?

I have run patriot gold duals. Good to .660 lift. Much cheaper option. I ran the patriot spring for over 2 years(comp lsk) when I took them off I checked then and they were still good.
I ran 918s on my personal LSR lobed cam (219/235 .607/.621) with tool steel retainers and lighweight valves.

That's funny....
Comp bee hives and Lunati bee hives are NOT made by the same company.
That's why you only heard about 918's with problems.
I'd personally look up the springs specs for the cam in question and then order a Lunati bee hive kit or call FTI and get a kit from Ed Curtis.

OP: I'd recommend the PRC .650" lift dual spring kit! $289.99 including titanium retainers!

Take a look at our (PAC) new dual springs (1205-1209). Rated from .700 to .750 lift and they have the same proccessing and treatments as our proven 1300 series drag race springs. Tons of vendors on here can get you setup with them.

Just buy a good quality set of dual springs (TSP, BTR, PAC, LUNATI) good for at least .650 lift and you will be fine. I run BTR with titanium retainers. But you could buy them with steel for around $220 and be sure to get push rods with your combo.
