Trickflow 215 valve spring lift? I was just told 3 different valve sprin ratings for the trickflow 215 top end kit on summits site. I bought this kit 8 or so years ago and i cant seem to get a straight answer on what the spring rate is. I was told 558, 600, and 650. I shattered a spring and wanna make sure that the cam i had somebody on this stie spec out for me dodnt exceed the lift capabillities of the valve spring. Does anybody know and is %100 sure on the spring lift rating. Also, does anybody know a good replacement for replacement spring without modding anything ? My cam is 613lift on intake and 605 on the exhaust. Thanks

Most cams are going to be in the .600-650" lift range, so a .660" lit spring will work fine in most cases, but they may work better with some shims underneath them. TSP/PRC and BTR are pretty popular and now offers kits using PAC springs.

I would add to KCS list the AFR 8019 springs.

The heads are aftermarket trickflow 215s and i need springs that can handle a cam with 613 intake and 605 exhaust. Maybe a spring with 650 max lift rating. I saw a 700 max lift spring upgrade kit from trickflow specifically for these heads but it was like almost $700, which is rediculous. I was also told by a summit tech that all springs are basically made by 2 or 3 different companies that have the tooling to manufacture the springs. basically he was telling me that you are paying for the name and R@d that companies like trickflow, comp, and lunat do.
