O.k guys, you don't know unless ya ask, what are the Pac springs and where can you find out info about em? Obviously people are changing from Comps because of failure issues, what are the benefits of the Pac?

thanks

PAC used to make Comp Cams' springs. Comp switched manufactures in the early 2006. This is why they are having problems recently with their 918s. PAC sells the original 918s and has an even better version now, the 1518.

Big difference with PSI and PAC is PSI won't touch Ovate Wire.

PAC is started to take a big chunk out of PSI's drag racing marketshare too.

I had not heard about the 1518s, but I agree with the rest of the statement.
The machinist was just telling me about that when I sent my heads in for a refresh.
We were going to use 1218s, but opted for a different spring to meet my needs since my previous setup was using Comp 977s
