I just bought the Lunati REV duals (1116). The downside is they are hard as a Bitch to install. ...don't even think of this if your spring change will be while the heads are in the car... ...you need a HEAVY duty spring compressor and substantial eye protection for these...

I dont; know what the true upside is since i have not bolted the heads on yet. They are supposed to last longer and prevent valve float better than other springs...

Im sure this doesnt answer any of your questions, but for what its worth, my head builder highly recommended the REV1116 springs for my application and his word is all the influence I needed to go with them. The heads aren't on the car yet though, so I can't really give you any first hand experience.
