Default lt1 valve springs aftermatket

Can someone shoot me the link to the 100 dollar valve springs that everyone seems to like? I'm running a cc503 cam, planning to use the factory retainers.

I have these in my car with zero problems. I think for a cam swap with valve springs they a good deal.

Comp 987's are what most people run with that cam. They are good to .550 lift and probably a little more and still work with the stock locks and retainers. Here's the summit link.

I'm using Alex springs with a CC503 and 1.6 Magnum roller rockers. This engine is two years old, been up and down the RPM range hundreds of times and they work well. As with all valve setups, the key is to follow the rules and set it up properly.

Alex springs are a fantastic deal.
