Spring time Again (not the season) Well I am getting near that time that i need to change my springs, I was wondering if I should stick with my Patriot Golds or go with some crane 832's? I have a G5X3 114 cam and I have noticed that people that went with the 921's have had higher RWHP then what I am getting and what some other people have gotten with my same set-up with the Gold's, maybe its my car, maybe not? thats why I was thinking of switching springs company to see if there is any difference....what do you guys and gals think?????
i just got my g5x4 111 and i'm in the same boat. i've been reading and searching posts and so have you, but i still can't pick a spring. i saw numerous post from louis @ lg motorsports that said the 921's survived 9500 rpm dyno pulls and high rpm power 6500+. my cars a daliy so thats what i'm looking for even if i have to change springs every 6-9 months.

Yea my G5X3 is suppose to pull alot higher into the rpms and make power past 6500rpms (i think) but mine seems to start to fall off at around 6200-6300rpms

A hyd roller cam set up is not designed to make power in high rpms. The lifter design just will not do it.
As far as springs go, the Patriot style spring is one of the best springs.

But I have seen many people with stock Lifters make power past 6200 rpms, mine starts to fall off, my ground in the cam I have no clue? Simple Quick did the install (great guy) so I know that the cam is not off or anything cause if it was I'd be sputtering and popping. and from what i understand you install the springs at the normal height with the patriot golds (no shimming required)
