Default What springs w/ TR224

It's a TR224 .562 .562 114 LSA. Just need to know the best springs to use with it. Any other supported mods I should have? I have an '02 SS w/ a lid.

The Comp 918's are great, but there are some outstanding prices on the most of the dual spring kits (Patriot, PRC) if you want to spend a little more to get more spring. Although both dual kits also come with the Titanium retainers (Patriot Golds come with the Super 7 locks).

Heck dual springs could be overkill but I prefer overkill... Visit the sponsors and shop around for great prices!

Don't forget some hardened pushrods while you are at it!

918s will be fine, check out the sponsors most have prices listed right on the website. the 921s are the next best thing but cost a bit more(not neccessary for your app.)

Will the stock springs in the 243 heads do fine with this TR224 cam? I think these are the heads with the sodium filled valves..
