I think I will probably go with the prc's and check them at 20k and replace them at 40k. Does that sound like a plan? I mean it's not like im running an ms3

i think i just found this out the hard way at the dyno monday...maybe 12k on prc golds but have been on the heads for 4 years...
just replace them every 2 years...its cheaper then junking a motor..ill take pictures of what i find asap...

I would guess over the last 4 years with these heads/springs they were raced once a month at the track and driven hard on the street every so often. It also sat over 4 long winters from nov to usually may....i have been told this may be even worse for these heavy duty style springs. im an idiot for not checking them and paid the price. i am not sure if its actually a spring failure or something else but my tuner and I are pretty sure it is. have you seen those prc EHT springs..suppose to be double the life..im kinda of interested in those or pac 1521's
