With your cam, a single beehive is correct for the application, like a Comp 918. The duals will work, but not the best for this application.

Hmmm, a couple of conflicting views but what I've got from them are pacs are top shelf but so is the price and patriots are the old reliables that many swear by but so don't like. But someone earlier said it best that just about any of these choices will do it all depends on how deep my pocket is . As a side note this is for a daily driver that I get on at times this is not a quarter mile truck that will live at 5000 Rpms +. But it never hurts to have springs in place that will take more abuse then what I will probably ever throw at it. Thanx to everyone for there feed back I think I will go with the patriots due to price and all needed pieces needed for the springs not to mention I see a lot of them being used in sigs and if they were crap people would not use them.

did you fell the fourm that pat g requisted from you?
did you specify the things you need from the cam?

if so go with what he gave you

if not re email him with what you have in mind

i have contacted him when i thought the cam was a littel small for me and i offerd to pay another 25$ for a new specd cam with EPS lobes and he said " stick with what i speced you its the best for your setup/use " and it ended very will

I spoke with him and he made very good sense as to why no more advance and I agree with him the other part was from a few days ago

Dual springs will be adding stress to your lifters that you don't necessarily need in a DD.

Me personally, I would rather have a single for street unless you're running some serious rpm/heavy components and need the stability a dual offers. Also, the HS rockers are very heavy over the nose so that would be one thing I would change unless you have already purchased them.
