I was wondering if anyone here is using the patriot dual springs and Ti retainer kit? I am wondering how those springs compare to the 918's in longevity and abuse on the valvetrain.

I am just gonna get hardened pushrods and new retainers and they say that the patriots are good to .650.

Just curious about any warnings that I might need to know about with the patriot springs/retainers.

I ran a set with my old 231/237 combo for about 8,000 miles and when I changed cams I took the springs off and drove down to Patriot with them ( 30 min drive ) and had Terry check them on his "spring checker" they still checked at the new tolerances. When I step up to a .61x lift cam here in the next few weeks, that's the springs I'll be using... and they are purdy to look at too

How about reliability/ longevity. This is my daily driver. Will the pressures of the spring be too much for stock lifters or valves?
