Default Rev 1116 spring failure

Well, I finally broke one after 200+ passes.

What's the best dual spring available?I really haven't been paying attention
to the spring threads.

Crane?
Comp?

I'm suprised they lasted that long. Another guy I know broke one in the first 100 miles with the same cam.

This sounds like an install height issue. What heads are you running?
