Default "Low Lift" valve springs PAC vs OEM

.550 Lift, 212/218 duration TSP ..... rpm not to exceed 6200
Will mostly live at 2100 rpm against locked converter.
What will be the MOST durable long lived valve springs ?
PAC1218 vs LS6 ... or something else ?
Daily driver, need the most reliable possible parts for towing far from home.

Michigan Motorsports Inc LS6 legit or chinese knockoff ?

The best single "beehive" spring for endurance is the PSI 1511 (.625 max) spring. Nascar "spec" LS2 engines ran these springs in the Nascar Camping World truck series and the K&N and Whelan series (625hp at 7200 RPM). The only draw back is the cost. If PSI isn't in the budget the PAC 1218 would be my second choice.

The nitriding process, which is also done in-house, increases the strength at the surface of the wire and at the same time causes a slight softening of the core material. This trade-off in hardness results in a gain in endurance for the Circle Track and Road Circuit teams who are limited by the onset of fatigue at the wire surface. Since Drag racers are not limited by endurance, the loss of core hardness does not make nitriding suitable for their applications.

Ive used these in a few dozen engine builds. A few of them have over 150k miles with no issues with the .553" lift cams.
