I have not received them yet but when I do I will report on them. I plan to check the pressures etc. I am going to use this spring with the 6.4 MDS cam in the 5.7.


Where did you order from because summit and jegs the price is double and triple what you paid. And please report back with coil bind numbers.

For my customers running stock cams such as a 6.1 or 6.4 cam, i have been using stock ls7 springs. Problem with the ls7 springs is they are down on pressure compared to stock mopar springs. But I think even the PAC springs are down on pressure compared to stock springs.

For balls out, I only use the PSI springs. I have used the Comp conical springs in some LS applications. The Comp conical springs have incredible pressures for a single spring


Coil bind on these is 1.295 no pressure numbers yet


1.98-.04 shim -1.30 coil bind is .640 -.050, good for .590

I like it. I'll start using them

Could you check coilbind on a bunch of them? For consistency



I checked 12 springs they were all really close .005 -.010 at the most

pressures were really consistent @ 1.95 they are 115 and at 1.40 they are 365 I think for a daily driver street car with .580ish lift these things are perfect and at 4.69 each I don't think you can beat it.

Ok so finished up the swap today a couple things I noted on the higher mileage engine. This car is an ex police package 2011 charger. I have all the maint records it was well maintained. 1st the small hole in the intake rockers on 6 of the 8 were worn shut. the valve tip was not getting oil on those and it beat the valve tip up pretty bad. I replaced the all the valves and rocker arms. The new rockers have the oil holes chamfered vs the old ones, MOPAR figured out I guess that with miles it started having oiling issues. I used the SRT MDS cam. I had pushrods out of the BGE 6.4 that I put in my 66 only had 10 miles on them so I used them. Note the BGE and Eagle head hemis have the same length pushrods I measured them. I used the springs above with new lifters. I replaced the timing chain and tensioner/guides. Man this thing sounds good !!! It feels the same until about 4K then it pulls much harder. No tune yet but there is a noticeable difference.

Finally got the car on the dyno with just the cam and springs and a cat back exhaust no tuning at all it made 373HP to the rear wheels @ 5500. Tuned on it and the peak didn't change but we picked up average 25-30HP in the 2500-4500 range. I don't think you can beat this swap for the money.
