Springs for a TRex V.2 install
Springs for a TRex V.2 install First off I'd like to say, great forums yall have here. I am looking to install the Thunder TRex cam, and i understand that i need new valve springs. I was first looking at the Crane 832's until i read so many good posts about the Patriot Golds. My end goal is to put this car into the tens farther down the road, however, being that springs have a shelf life, i dunno if i need to go ***** to the walls yet with my spring choice. I know i need to get the full kit with Ti retainer and locks and all, which is why i am trying to figure out why the patriot full kit is almost 100 bux cheaper than the crane. Im not one to pay more just because of a name but if it is worth it i am there. Also, if there are anyother spring reccomendations yall may have out there. My ears are open.
Thanks

well, as for the car, hopefully its a '00 WS6 T/A that i am looking into in MD. Im gonna have parts waiting when the car arrives :o). First parts to go on the car will be long tube headers followed by exhaust. Then i will probably move into putting the cam on. The reason i loved the Trex so much is that Thunder designed it to work with stock heads. Somewhere by this winter i hope to have a turbo on the car.
As for the 921's i was reading about one of the comps having failure issues, was that those? Thanks for the reply

the 918's have had failures recently. Infact ive spoken to a few guys at a party this weekend that have had them fail recently.
Im a big fan of the gold dual springs. Hard to beat, especially for the money...
