Default Which dual springs for GT2-3 cam?

I have been running the Patriot Gold springs, but they are discontinued. Would the PRC .650 dual springs work ok with the GT2-3? And do they just drop in with no modifications?

Thank you, CDH

I'm using the LS6 springs, per Lingenfelter's recommendation. 4 years with no hiccups.

I'm a big fan of the BTR stuff. I have 4 sets of his dual .660 lift springs running right now.

The same set? That's good to hear. I don't put many miles on her anymore, and I kind of want this to be the last time I have to change them.

Are his the ones that are a lot cheaper than other brands? Like under 200? If so, I emailed him last week but never heard back.

springs them self are $150 but you need the correct retainers if you don't have them. he is a good guy and runs a nice shop. when i was looking for stuff for my new heads his springs were always good. haven't found one bad about them nor any brakes.

$230-299 depending on the steel or titanium retainers.

The patriot gold retainers should work right? They don't really wear out do they?
