I would recommend you purchase our PRC .650 dual spring kit along with the Torquer
V2. While there is people who have done this before I prefer going ahead and stepping up to our .650 spring kit for use with the Torquer V2 that is so close to that
.600 lift mark.

If possible its always a good idea to degree the camshaft just to verify everything is correct, but the very large majority of people simply install the cam dot to dot. I have listed a link below to our PRC .650 dual spring kit.

That is deff. the better set of springs. Stay with the beehive's until you go to a stroker with a good size cam. Shim the 1518's to 1.750" and you'll be good to go.

O yeah the Pac 1518's are good for .650" also.

If you want no worries in spring durability get a set of Brian Tooley Racing springs.

No failures on his dual platinum springs since their creation in 2005!

We do sell them also: http://www.tickperformance.com/brian...ll-ls-engines/
