Hello,
Been on here a while now but kinda "new"
I would like to ask for some advise please.
I am having trouble deciding which valve spring to purchase for my project.
I have a Tick SNS stage 2 and Morel 5206 lifters....i have been considering which rockers to go with and im pretty much decided on TSP roller tip steels.
What im stuck on is valve spring choice.... im after a dual spring as i cant really afford to do this again if something breaks ( a little extra insurance )
I'm really interested in comps dual conicals, with a seat pressure of 150lb that fine but I'm kinda worried about the advertised 600lb open specs. Is this excessive for my needs ??
Will anything else suffer because of those pressures ( lifters, rockers )
This is a street driven car and does not usually see anything over 6000rpm. What im concerned with is stout reliability.
If anyone can offer some guidance to help me decide i would be very gratefull.
Thanks again,

JR.

Tick should have a recommended spring, As far as rockers are concerned the stock rock with a trunnion upgrade will be fine. not-a-sponsor.com

Thanks for reply, your right, those guys would definately know what would work best.
Probably better end result too rather than me trying to get too " tricky "
Just trying to do it right, the first time.

I think the conical springs would be too much. PRC has good spring kits as does BTR and they seem to be working well for a lot of people.

Thsese are the ones ive been using, and looks like the price just went up on them for some reason but there still a good deal, come with Titanium retainers and intergrated Valvestem seals/sets

Thanks again guys....looks like either BTR or TSP .660's....whats the deal with the intergrated seat and seal in the TSP set ?? Does this pose any shimming issues ( in terms of the valve seal ) when setting the installed height ? Probably a dumb question......

If you have to shim a lot, like in the case of a bunch of LS7 setups, then it shouldn't be a problem. Since it's all one piece, you know the seal won't come off the guide.

Understood....thanks KCS.

You dont want to use btr platinum springs with roller rockers. The website says as much. They have their max springs for that but the PAC/TSP have been working very well for that for us. I prefer them now especially with the 1 piece seat/seal design. Social media is blowing up with the 2 piece style failing quite often...whether they are actual failures or installer problems, doesnt really matter. The 1 piece fixes both issues.

Well, thanks for the info.....that narrows it down considerably....😎
