    I've been happy with Nextek springs. We're on about our 7th set. I could help you more with installed height, seat psi and such, if need be. What heads do you have?

    SoDak, thanks for the reply. the springs are 1.50 od and 2.19 insalled ht. Just been awhile since we needed new stuff and was wondering what seemed to be working best lately. The heads are Chev.aluminum with raised intakes. thanks again, Les

    I'm not familiar with that small of OD and that tall of installed height. Any local machine shop should be able to set you up. Otherwise PM me and might be able to help.

    Seems like a lot of installed height, I'm geussing you'll have a hard time finding a spring to stay out of spring surge because the cam lift is low in comparison to the installed height.
