Which valve spring kit for road racing motor?
Broken spring in #8. Car is road raced about once a month and is a daily driver the rest of the time. Cam is the Texas Speed Magic Stick 3 237/242 .603"/.609" Camshaft with TFS 225 heads (rest of mods in sig) and YT rockers. I got 20 track days and 1 1/2 yrs out of TFS springs before breaking one. A lot of choices. Are the BT racing spings overkill? Here is a for sale thread with the most choices:

FWIW: I've been tunning PAC 1521's for a while now. Nitrited for very long life. I'm still using the same set I had in my 403 build and now in my 427. I've run cams with .660 lift and after about 12k miles they still tested within 1 or 2 pounds of new specs.

Ordered a set of just springs and seats from Brian Tooley racing after talking with him. Will try to get them on this week. Will do the complete kit repl next year as this will be an annual thing for me due to severe tracking use. Thanks for the input.

Ill second the PRC .650s, we recommend them anyway for the MS3, and have several others working flawlessly in similar applications to the op.

Actually, I started to order the Lunati .650 doubles as they are on sale for $215, but I was concerned about them being too stiff for my YT rocker arms. I have the newer version of the YTs that are thicker, but now I may need to rethink this whole valvetrain. For now I am committed to the Trick Flow heads and the MS3 cam. Hopefully annual spring change will be enough.
