valve spring recommendations?

I had a CC's 918 spring fail on my LE2 setup.
I am leaning toward these:
https://www.patriot-performance.com/...0&cat=0&page=1

Any others I should look at? I realy want the safety of a dual spring now.

Email Lloyd Elliot. He uses patriot on his new setups. I'm not sure which ones though. u can also check out his site. http://www.elliottsportworks.com/lt1.html

Lloyd recommended these when I spoke with him, just getting more options.

The Crane 99893 springs have been around a long time with lots of installs. I don't have 99893's but I do have Crane 96872's, same materials just different rates. Search the Crane web site for the PN to get the specs.

Suggest going with the "improved" version of the 99893 (99892). Claim improved performance and useful life. JMHO If I had the money, I would have added some titanium retainers to lighten up the train.JMHO

I went with Lloyd recommendations, they should be a lot stonger than the 918's, and the 2nd spring will be there just in case 1 ever fails.

Yes, Bubba, that is what I did.
