Default How did you complement your G5x3?

I'm almost 100% on going with the x3 on stock heads, so how did you guys outfit your valvetrain for it? Comp 918's, 921's, or Patriot Gold springs? New seats/retainers?

I'm also looking for the best sponsor package available for pushrods/springs/retainers. Thanks!

(Feel free to brag about your dyno numbers too!)

Are you looking for best or best cheapest?

Because best would be a full LGM package (more $$)
Best Cheapest would be PP golds with 7.425 Comp cam p-rods

Best is quality
Best cheapest is best quality at cheaper price

The 921's as duals are a better quality spring than the Golds when it comes to harmonics and such...
