should I go with single or double valve springs? im getting the 224/224 112 cam from txraceing, ive got stock cylender heads and all bolt ons.
first i was gona go with double titanum valve springs but then I thought, its kinda of a mild cam and I was wondering if a single would do just fine???

Get the PRC spring kit from TSP. It comes with double springs rated at .600" & TSP chromoly hardened pushrods. Along with retainers, locks, etc. Very good pricing for the entire kit. Its what I chose.

yah a single will do just fine but i like the security behind a dual valve spring. If one breaks you still have another one there to keep your valve from falling down and getting bent!

Duals are safer in my opinion. They only cost about $150 more than singles depending on what you buy. If you think about it, the duals add valvetrain mass which is a bad thing if you add it to the stock springs...but youre adding it to springs that are already set up to handle themselves and the retainers.
It would be a different story if you were putting a heavy retainer on a stock spring, thats just going completely in the wrong direction.
PM me if you are interested in buying a dual spring package....check my feedback too!

I've ran it with both 918s & current Patriot Duals. The duals came on my new heads and it is kinda reassuring having them when throttling down the track. I would be more hesitant with the 918's and check their pressure more often than a dual. I'm planning on running mine till 20K and checking.
