Default Crane vavlesprings 10308-1

Does any one have any experince with these springs? I will be a bolt on platform for a while but will get a cam probably nothing too radiacal. I want for now because I have 1.6 RR's and dont want to chance the springs anymore.

Is there any thing wrong for running these springs with a cam? I'd rather not do it twice.

david from thunder racing said this about the 99893 springs (that come in the 10308-1 kit)

"These can be setup very tight for cams up to .650 lift and are good for 7000-7200rpms"

Would these exert too much pressure on stock lifters causing them to colapse?

I just bought a set. I thought they were only good to .600 lift.? Friend on mine has them in his 94 Z with a Comp Cam .540 lift range?? and has gone 10.9 @122 with the stock lifters.

Stock springs are fine with 1.6 rockers. Get the Crane kit any way so you will have it for your new cam. I got locaters and more shims to make sure installed height was correct. Smaller valve seals are required. No problems with XE cam and stock lifters.

I had the Crane 10308-1 springs in my old 94 Z28...i loved them with my 224/230XE cam....made the car rev a little quicker...they are a great bargain and very reliable .600 lift spring that will fit stock seats for $150 or so...also they give you the extra assurance of dual valve springs..i vote for getting them
