personally I would do PRC's, but call Texas speed and make sure you aren't too close to the rating. IMO you will get better support with PRC's in case anything isn't right.

I'm getting the cam from TR...

Speaking of which, Patrick G: What springs do you recommend with your TQR cam? (Not sure if he's lurking or not)

^I'm starting to think the PRC's as well... The 921's are good for .650 lift, the PRC's are good for .660 lift.. That'll give me a little bit more room.

The only reason I ask is I don't hear a lot of people SWEARING by them, but on that note I haven't heard ANYTHING about failures with them.

Go with the PRC springs. No need to spend the money that the 921's cost.
