I am looking for a set of springs and just wondering what everyone is using these days... The cam i am looking at has a .581 lift. I know the 981s got a bad rep for the broken ones that sprang up, so I don't want those. I want a single spring that uses factory retainers and keepers...

Thanks in advance.

 

PAC 1218s are good for .600, PAC 1518s are good for .650

 

yep pac springs

 

Im going to be using the PAC 1218 (already bought them) for my tsp 220 with .581 lift they are very good springs and good alternative to the comp 918's even though the newer revised 918's are rated to .625.

I also didn't want to take a chance on the 918's.

Pac 1218 / 1518 are the way to go imo.

I have herd that the 1218's are good up to .610 lift but that is what I saw a few users post on different forums.

 

Has anyone used these springs from SDPC?

Those are the pac 1218's same thing. Yes they are good springs.

 

I would use whatever those pac springs are that scott has. they obviously hold up to the abuse.

 

Im pretty certain he is running the 1218's.

I had 1518's on the 5.3 I built, but I never ran the motor.

 

I've been tossing around the idea of a cam in the 224/228 .581./.588 112 range (for the 6.0), and I'm planning on PAC 1218's...if I can ever get the dough

 

I am planning on a 220/224 .581/.581 114+4 with a 6.0... I am wanting a nice DD, no idle lope, easy to tune and gooooood low end TQ...
