Are they new heads?? if so they come with dual Patriot gold and more than enough for that cam.
If you have he heads and just want to replace springs then just get PP "Gold" replacements. (That is if they need replacing)

thanks for the info guys.
these are new heads. what I'm looking at is to avoid floating valves or crash. I want to be able to set rev limit to 6600 and shift around 6300 rpm's . Hot Rod mag did a test on the beehive springs and found that these springs can rev about 1000 rpm more then the dual springs before any of these symptons accur. just trying to get alot of info on the beehive springs.
thanks again guys

The PP "Gold" will be fine for that cam, I would just invest in a better lifter as a Comp 850-16 or Crane replacements.
Comps are $199 and Crane a little more $275 (better than Comp though)
Most issues are with stockers collapsing.
