Hotcam valvespring choices Would there be a negative effect if I ran PRC/Patriot dual springs with the hotcam? I plan on a custom cam, but I have the availability to run a hotcam for nothing, and I don't care what most say, they make good power. I ran 12.50's in my first 99 Z with no longtubes, ls6 intake, or ported throttle body. I just don't want to install valvesprings twice unless these would be too stiff or whatever.
Not at all, the guy that did my tuning for my hotcam setup said he could have raised my shift point, to about 6700 if I had different springs, I got Ls6 on mine.
I made 393hp yesterday.

Back in 2000, I just used the HPP3 and shifted at 6500-6600. I had the HC kit then. I may still just put some good springs in. I wonder if that would hurt the performance of the stock cam until I put a real one in. I'd be curious to hear your track times in cooler weather.

Here is the cliffnotes version in chronological order.
- PAC no longer makes Comp Springs.
- Comp has problems with new suppliers and springs start breaking.
- PAC starts selling the reliable springs it used to make for comp but under its own name/part numbers.
- PAC comes out with the next evolution of the 918 (now PAC-1218). Called the PAC-1518 which has been nitrided, nano-peened, and polished giving it more lift capability.
- Redlines sends me a PM asking where to get the best deal on PAC-1518
