Re: valve spring help:

The size that fits his heads.
You don't get valve springs by size. You have to get a spring that will allow the amount of lift that you want without binding and that has the right amount of open and closed pressure.
I would call Texas speed and see what spring/retainer package that they recommend. Probably Patriot gold dual.

Re: valve spring help:

TSP will recommend their PRC dual springs, which will do the job.

The COMP 921's are best equipped to handle the job, but are damn pricey
