Ordering Cam Kit right now, which springs?

Ok, I am upgrading to titanium retainers, so should I get Tick/PAC or BTR springs? Only a $10 difference

The Lunati and BTR dual valve springs are your best bet.

Ignore the blind brand fans that don't address what cam and what springs you are considering, you are choosing between two reputable companies, worry more about specs and understand there is one primary wire provider and just a very few spring winders that make a LOT of different specs for a LOT of different brands.

A lot of the springs people debate about are the same damned spring in two different boxes.

Each BTR spring kit listed on our website has the specs and tolerences of each spring kit so the OP can pick which would be best for his cam among other things since he has not given us that information.

Both are quality spring kits, I think this decision should be more about which company you trust to stand behind there product and give you better customer support and services.

Snce he said cam kit and didn't talk about cam I bet he has a cam and vendor picked out, and has a choice of springs to go with.

Went with BTR and Ti retainers, yes it was a kit with a choice of two. Ordered the Tick SNS stage 3. 235/242 111+2 I think. I need to memorize my specs, I've been looking at so many cams and numbers lately it's a blur.
