it is good to see that people havn't been breaking them. especially since the people running these springs are running some of the most radical cams. these are the springs i'll be using with my g5x3 cam.

johyboy, how many miles do you have on your 921's?

The 921's are a nice spring, but way way to much money in my opinion. I'm looking into the dual Crane's or the dual Patriot's. The Crane's are $335 and the Patriots are $295. And just like Comp. the other come with retianers, seats and seal. I wouldn't have a problem buying the Comps if they were alittle more competitive. Even $350 for the kit or even as much as $375 i would get um. I talked to two sponsors and thay both said the Crane's and Patriots are just as good as the Comps. Except the Patriots have 130lbs seat pressure which is nice when running any higher than 10 or 11#'s of boost. I'm gonna try them on my 383cid stroker/ ATI 12# setup. I hope they don't calapse a lifter Within the next few weeks i should be starting the engine buuild-up . My A4 is gonna hate me..lol. And the stock rear for that matter.

You have VERY similar plans as I do, as I plan to run a D1SC setup, on a 383 stroker....altho I think I may run a little more than 12# on the track Would love to hear about what you plan to use as far as components, shoot me a pm if you get the chance, I'd really appreciate it.

PS - A 12-bolt is in my agenda BEFORE the D1SC goes in LOL. Otherwise I'll f#ck around and shred my ten bolt the first few days I have the D1 in.
