In May we began working with our current spring provider on a new spring design. These springs will be of the same great quality as our Original Patriot Gold springs. The max lift will be .660", seat pressure 155 lbs., 410 lbs. open. Our kit will be a drop-in application with no machining required. This series will be known as our Gold Xtreme spring. They will have our Patriot Gold finish on the inner spring and a Silver finish on the outer.

The complete kit with Patriot Gold Xtreme Dual springs, ti retainers, Super 7 Locks, machined bases, and viton seals will only be $275.00. These springs will be available on all of our heads, including the 243 castings we now have on special. We should have the springs in stock and ready to ship kits early next week.

We would like to make a special offer to all forum members, until 11/30/2006 purchase our new Patriot Gold Xtreme Kit for only $239.50 !!!

Seems to be a lot of that going around.
Do these replace the older ones or are there just 2 choices now?

Is the new kit any better than the old kit? I used to have the original kit and if I remember correctly, it had a max lift of .650". The new kit has .660". Is this correct? I assume this kit will work on the L92 heads?

This kit has more spring pressure than our Gold Spring does. The new spring is capable of .660" lift. Yes, you should be able to use it on your L92 heads.

can you put the new springs in with the old retainers/locks?

Is more spring pressure good or bad?

There is no such thing as to much spring pressure. Thats why Real Street mustangs run solid roller springs on a hyd cam. Valve control equals horsepower. TTT for a good product.

I never stated that there's such a thing as too much spring pressure. What I was asking is if more spring pressure is good or bad since he stated that it had more with the new kit. I didn't realize there was such a thing as solid roller springs. I thought there was only rockers and lifters. What distincts solid roller springs from hydraulic?

Solid roller springs run massive pressures to control the ramps of the solid roller cams. They can do this because the lifters are solid and there is no chance of breaking the lifter like a hydraulic. I don't agree on the "never to much" spring issue. If you have a spring that is adequate for the application, then there is no reason to run more pressure. If that were the case, we'd all have solid roller springs and rev kits. Over springing can also rob you of HP. If you have a problem with valve control, then you have the wrong springs. Springs are application specific. If you don't need .660" springs, then there not going to help you and will probablly rob you a few HP on the big end.

what he said. the more pressure you have the more power the engine uses to open those valves.
