    Hey Damian,
    I just bought a set of Isky valve springs, Inners only for $43.20.
    For outers, I'm using stock replacements from NAPA. They're $71.84....man'fd by Sealed Power/Clevite.

    Damian,

    Try Carmen Faso (716) 693 4090 for aftermarket Nailhead spring combinations. Carmen is very good at finding a set to match your desired lift and spring pressure. I have the phone bill to prove it. Most outers springs begin to have coil bind issues around the .500" lift point even with the proper installation height and no shims. The inner and outer springs on my "good" set of heads combine for 130# seat pressue closed, and 300# at .500" lift. These are good to a .600" lift at the current installation heights before any hint of coil bind issues begin.

    Cheryl :)
