I have had decent luck with K-Motion K-950 springs and Victor heads. My cam is [Email]280@50[/Email] with .714 lift. (using 1.6 rockers); I have Ti retainers, Harland Sharp rockers and old school mopar lack wrinkle valve covers. I mention the valve covers because I hear others speak of clearance issues. I have no clearance issues. My Victor heads are standard port if that makes a difference. The engine has seen 7200+ rpm many times with no issues to report other than some broken dampeners, this after 4+ years and a good number of passes. I am sure plenty of other springs will work Comp-943, PAC 1225, etc. come to mind. The car with this setup runs very consistent 9.70’s at 3500lbs.
That K-950 spring is an excellent spring for the money. I have used this spring on countless engines with fantastic longevity. For the ~$250 price tag, we would get 500-600 runs before replacing. Yes I broke a few over the years, but after 500+ runs, the spring pressures were within 10-12 lbs of initial installation weight. To me, it's one of the most unknown "good" springs in the 1.55" dia.
