TSP 231/237 vs. 233/239
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...

Springs will last longer with the 231/237 because of the slower lobes. The 233/239 will make more power, but be harder on the springs. You'll get good life out of the springs with either cam, but the 231 will last longer.
Id prefer the xer lobes in the 233/239. If youre doing a lot of easy highway commute miles, the springs will last fairly long anyway. Check em after 20K miles, then check every 5K after that.

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
