Default LT1 Patriot spring kit?

I was wondering if anyone here has installed the GOLD Patriot LT1 kit. Do my heads need to be machined for them? I emailed them and they said they SHOULD fit stock heads. I dont wanna buy them and then need to start machining things

They will fit the stock heads just fine.

are these the same "Gold" dbl springs that you sell for the LS1s' but with 11/32 retainers and locks?

How much are they?

The valve stem seals they sent me didn't fit over my valve guides, I don't know if they just sent me the wrong seals or what. The fel-pro seals I picked up to try out wouldn't fit inside the inner spring so I ended up sending the springs back.

how much where they?

has anyone installed and ran a set of these?

I know the LS1 spring set up is a pretty good set up and a good price.

It is the same setup as the LS kit but with all the hardware for the 11/32" valve stems. The LT1 kits are the same price as the LS kit.
