I will be using them w/ my g5x-2 cam....have heard a lot of good things about them from other members. For $295 you get dual gold micro polished springs/tit retainers/harden seats/valve seals/new 7* angle retainer locks, known as the "super 7 locks"

They seem to be very similar to comp 921 or rev 1116

specs:
135lb/380lb
good up to .650 lift

Trying to decide whether I should just replace my Isky 295s (15k miles) with new ones or get these.

My heads are going in for some work so this is a good time to do it.

Brian, this is way off topic, but can you email me a dyno overlay graph between TSP231/237 & stock of cam only car...thinking of switching to this cam and also using my PP dual springs.

Thanks Gomer,
This would really help. Is this with heads or just cam only?

I have the old (not gold) patriot dual springs but haven't installed the heads yet. Anyone have any complaints on them?

I don't recommend the old dual springs.The locks are not going to hurt anything.If you have the "GOLD" springs you are ok.
