What spring kit should I get for the CC503 cam?
 

I'm looking at upgrading to the CC503 cam and need a spring kit upgrade as well. Does anyone sell the whole kit together i.e springs, locks, retainers, and bottom shims? What kit have you guys used succesfully with this cam? What company had the best kit for the best price?
Thanks guys.

PAC 1218's or the Patriot Gold Extreme's would be a good choice. Where to get them for the best price I couldn't tell ya.

We could set you up with either, but for the complete price the Patriots would be my suggestion. I run them on my car with 0 issues.

Do you have a price? or a catalog I can look at?

I know you can find the Patriot golds on thunderracing.com

there like $270 and a very nice kit. i just installed them on my 94 Z.. make sure you buy a spring compressor tool like tims tool or a crane cam knock off

The Comp Cams 918 Beehives will work great if you want to run a single spring (cheaper option and are what you need), the Patriot Golds if you want double springs and that extra little bit of lift handling (more expensive but will handle much more aggressive lobes if you ever wish to get a bigger cam).

When I use to have that cam I ran the Crane 10308-1 valve spring kit. It included everything I needed and was ~$185. Those springs are all you will need for that cam. The Comp and PAC beehives are real nice as are the Patriot Golds but they aren't necessary so if you want to keep things on a budget the Crane springs cannot be beat. BTW, I currently run the PAC 1518's with my setup which are the same as the Comp 918/PAC 1218's but nitrided for extra strength. They have been very good to me but IMO the Crane kit will suit you well.

Where did you get them from? Did you also have 1.6 RR's? The beehives look nice as well. The patriots are a little bigger than I would need probably ever need.
Yes this is on a budget but the valvetrain is not somewhere I will be cheap but the cranes are a good name for a fair price. I will also have the machine shop install them when I get the heads freshened up.
Thanks guys keep it coming.

Perfectly said!

I ran the crane 10308-1 kit with mine cost <$200 but no idea if they still make it anymore

I bought them from Summit but they no longer carry them since Crane went out of business. If you do a search on google under the part# a bunch of places come up that sell them. Many of them have the kit on special.

Yes I had 1.6RR's. At that time I had the Comp Cams SA Magnums. I would recommend the Comp Cams NSA Pro-Mags however. It's nice not to have to worry about having SA's and worrying about a rocker slipping off a valve tip at high rpm's.

Ok, I bought the last set that jegs had and they should be here thursday. Here is the link. I couldnt find any specs on them as in max lift? The guy at jegs didnt seem to know either but he said .490 to.510...... I know if you guys are running these with the CC503 cam than its higher than that.

You can find the part number for the springs and everything included in the kit there ^^^.

And info on the springs there ^^^.

perfect springs for that cam. summit still sells them i saw them on sale yesterday for like 150.00 with retainers.

I got mine from jegs today for 130. The last one they had to. I think I lucked out:burn:

The first one is correct but the seconed one is for BBs. So still no info on these yet.

yea i know it was priced something like that. good springs for a killer price.

.600" lift is their max. Those reps never know anything lol.

Thats what I was thinking but I wasnt sure. Do you think I need to upgrade the lifters with this cam. I have ones out of a iron head motor with less than 45,000 on them?
Some guys say yes some guys say its not worth the money with low miles like that.
