Default Trickflow 215 head default springs

Purchased trickflow 215 heads (with PM guides) from TEA last year.
THey came with their default spring set (pn # TFS-B30600415)
These have not yet been installed.

Wondering if anybody has had issues running these springs with mid sized camshafts (I have a TSP torquer v2 cam, morel 6504 lifters, upgraded pushrods, stock rockers with trunion upgrade)
I have not installed them yet, and I am wondering if I should upgrade to the double platinum .660 spring kit. TFS-2500287P.
I will not be spinning the engine past 7000 rpm.

Here is some more info
Max pressure 1.300 dual springs
160 @ 1.800
450 @ 1.200
1.100 coil bind


Here is some other infor that you might need to know.
  • TFS LS-1 1.220 Titanium spring retainers
  • TFS-30600444-1 TFS LS1 7 degree valve locks for 8mm stem
  • Stef's .505" 1.3" spring cup
spring heights set, assemble,
  • seat pressure ___160_______,
  • installed height ____1.8______,
  • coil bind ___1.10______,
  • seal to retainer clearance___.850__

Thanks in advance for your advice.

I'm pretty sure you'll be fine with 160 lbs seat and 450 lbs open pressure.

I have the Torquer V2 in my car, with PRC 225 heads which have solid stem stainless valves, TSP 660 dual spring kit with titanium retainers, rev limiter set to 7000 rpm.

The springs have 15,000 hard miles on them, and I have never noticed any signs of valve float. According to TSP's website, the springs I use have 160 lbs seat pressure and 415lbs at 0.660 lift.
