I did a few years ago and got more replies than I needed. Lots of guys are selling their "take-off" springs that came on this Edelbrock heads. They work well with a MP 509 cam.

Montclaire OP master Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 7,982 Scranton, PA	Just wanted to ask about the Stealth springs, from what I am seeing they are singles with a damper, rated for max .600 lift, which is fine. It looks like the locks are only rated to .510, any issues here? Also it says that the stealth heads are clearanced for larger diameter springs, will the stealth springs fit a stock 915 head? Their site lists the od on the spring as 1.550" Thanks

They sell Summit cams for those guys! :-)
