Springs for the hotcam?
What are recommended springs for the hotcam setup on my LT1 that won't break the bank? I have new LT4 springs on my car now.

The springs used in LT4 Heads are the same springs used in the Hotcam Kit

If you want more safety margin to coil bind than the LT4 springs the next
spring I would consider is the Isky 235-D. It's good to .550" lift, where the
LT4 spring is only good to .525". I think they cost about $100 a set.
