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.

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

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.
