[whitestang97]

Hey whats up everyone
well heres my question...will these valve springs work with my stock retainters and everything or will i need to buy some different ones

and also...these springs are good for cams that have a .550 lift right or does the spring need to be able to hold more than a .550 lift??

or would this set-up be better

what lift are those good up to??? any like i said before can you use you stock retainers and everything or do you need different ones??

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

stock retainers and they have a .560 lift or something like that

 

[whitestang97]

what about that package deal from patriot...$263 for .600 lift springs, and titanium retainers and locks??? seems kinda cheap...what do yall think??

I didn't click the link, because I'm on a slow comp, but I'm assuming those are Comp cams springs? Not my first choice. I would order them like this, 1. Manley Nextek, 2.Crower, 3. Comp Cams (I used to make them, they use the exact same wire as stockers, different winding and heat treat) 4. Stock, 5. super high mileage stock, 6. Stock with super high mileage that got smashed by a sledge hammer elevnty billion times, 7. Patriot

Crower springs have been on back order for 8 months last I tried getting some. And from what I know, Almost all vavle springs are made by one company and they were just made to the companies specs. But I dont know for sure.


BUT i would NEVER EVER run anything that say PATRIOT PERFORMANCE or ALABAMA CYLINDER HEAD

Manley and Crower did not come from our shop, but Ford, and Comp did. We didn't make the actual springs though, they went to another shop to get cut, wound, and heat treated. But Ford and Comp use the same wire.

Manley springs mic slightly wider, and not quite tall, they have a different shape, more of a football than an oval.
