My cars see occasional track time -- they won't pass tech without dual springs. So, yes -- dual springs here.

I saw a 4 sec 1/8th mile car break loose, get back on it (dumb), then found the trees at the end of the shutdown area.

Use two springs.

I played around with some different springs and after finding a good combo and turning the spring bracket 90 degree's, I was able to get a nice feel to the pedal.

... come to think about it .. the last NEW set I bought was at NAPA. I have seen a single large spring be way-more "pressure" than a properly comboed-together set.

Just grab some springs from a junker. It's hard to find the right combo from those assorted packs of springs.

Your present set up will be easy to press the pedal but hard as you reach the floor. That's the problem with running short springs.
For a more consistent feel from tip in to full throttle, you need 2 long weak springs.
