PAC 1518 nitrided beehive valve springs, best deal here!

Any local in DFW need any PAC 1518 nitrided valve springs I'll have a few extra sets early next week. Brand new in the box.
$180 for local pickup only in NW FTW or Bedford.

These are usually priced at over $300 and there a GP on them for $200. These are much stronger than the regular PAC1218s and last much longer. There's several threads about these springs with all of the Comp 918 beehives breaking, PAC was the original maker of the beehive for Comp before Comp changed manufacturers and started having all the problems.
Here's the specs on the springs:

Here's some of the links with posts from the PAC engineers:
look for the post from Chris Osborn

To save money I bought 10 sets at the volume price on the PAC website as I needed 4 sets.
Thanks

Yes, they are a drop in with the Comp 795-16 retainers, 611-16 comp super locks, and comp 4705-16 seats.
These are the exact same spec and size as the Comp 26918's that everyone was using but started breaking, but these are nitride treated so they will keep their pressures for a much longer time and last many more miles, upto 50k miles.

It may be the end of next week however before I have these to continue distributing, the last shipment I received today was the wrong springs so I have to ship them back and PAC will be shipping me replacements hopefully next week.

I do have a set of the regular PAC 1218s which are not nitride treated which are actually the exact spring as the regular 26918s that last about 25k miles for $140 shipped or $120 local pickup.

As of right now, all the extra sets are spoken for..but not yet paid for...I'll let you know if anything else comes up. If you did not get a response from me tonight and have not paid, then yours are not "spoken" for at this time.
I never received anything from you TexasTA on that PM either.
If you want these for the next best price, there's a GP going on in the GP forum for them for $200.

I'll buy 2 sets if you've got any left...

I'm running the dreaded 918's in my TBSS.

Shawn, right now I don't have any spares, but have 2 sets claimed but not yet paid for. Ben will meet up Friday, but there's another person I haven't heard back from, they have until tomorrow evening.
You can get these from the Group Purchase forum for $200 until 6/30..after that they won't have anymore.
If there's still enough people in this area wanting them, I might buy 10 more sets, but I would need at least 5 sets paid for in advance to do it.
