Assembling L92 heads

Well I have acquired a boat load of l92 heads that are complete probably be getting rid of some in the future, but I want to dump the locks, retainers, and springs. My question is Would you run Isky tool room springs and their other hardware or are there better options out there?

Were you looking at the 295D Toolroom springs? If so, set up @ 1.780 in order to stay away from coil bind they will be a little too light on the seat for an aggressive LS cam in the .600 range. I use those for lower lift roller cams and solid flat tappets where I can put them at 150 minimum on the seat.

I really don't think there's any better combination out there than the PAC 1221/1521 springs.

I've ran Patriot Gold dual springs for a couple years now. They are a good bargain and have held up well.

I put 30,000+ miles on my first set of PRC duals, and am now on my second set. Countless redline pulls.

I ordered my PRCs from Texas Speed, but that's where I got my L92s as well. Ask for Matt. Don't know who'd have the best deal on PACs, but I tend to be a loyal person, so I'd probably contact EdC.

X2, although I've been debating selling my Ed C heads and getting a set of untouched heads with Comp hardware.
