Default Ordering F13 soon

I have decided on the F13 on a 112LSA for my car. What I need to know is, what springs would you recommend for me to get? I know I will need springs and pushrods, is there anything else that I will need? After hearing all the positive things about Futral's, I can't wait to get this baby in there. Now I just need to find someone to tune it for me

I have the PRC gold duals and they are working great. Spinning to 6.8K regularly.

Think my car will be the only one with an F12 in it as well. I just didn't choose the F13 for whatever reason but i can always go bigger then both in the future.

Be on the look out for a post on the after numbers and thoughts on ls2 or ls1tech...probably both if you are interested.

I got the the Futral's Dual Spring Kit, when I got my Cam... All I needed, no problems since. You'll like the F13

the PRC dual springs are good. thats what i went with when i got my F13. i would also do hardened pushrods. if your heads are not milled then you will need the stock 7.400" length pushrods. i would also get new retainers, locks and valve seals. if you get the cam/spring kit from Futral those are usually included.

Again, PRC dual springs. Spun to 6.8K regularly and driven rather hard for the last 5k miles.

I ran Patriot Gold Duals with mine, No problems here with them. Give Gunnar a call, they'll fix you up. Plus they located in Rainbow City.
