TSP 231/237 vs. 233/239 What do you guys think about these cams. My main concern is spring life since I drive 20 miles to work one way. I will be using PRC LS6 ported heads from TSP with double springs.

Mods and numbers in sig....I'm running the 233/239....
Sounds like I got the setup that you're considering....
Don't worry to much over the springs...I've got them as well. I drive the car 110 miles roundtrip to work, usually at least 3 days a week.
If you have any questions, just let me know...

I'm not too concerned with changing them, I knew it'd be necessary when I installed the parts I did. I've never changed a set of springs before, but I look forward to the challenge. I figure if I can install my H/C setup, surely I can change some springs out!

I have about 20,000 miles on a PRC dual spring kit (w\ torquer cam)with no problems..they will last alot longer than what most of the people on here will tell you..I let mine warm up for a few minutes every morning before I leave..good for the engines life and the springs life.. .

I let mine warm up at least 3-5 mins (on a cold start) in the summer, regardless of the temp....and even more in the winter...
ive already burned a 1/4 tank by then i just let the water temp get to about 100-150 degrees
