The shop that quoted me 650 said that wasnt with seals, retainers, seats or anything. Just spring replacment.

Where can I find the PAC kit, if one exist. Or what and where can i find all needed conponents.

How about percision race component springs?

What cam are you planning to go with? That makes a difference in which springs you select. FYI: I had a broken PRC dual spring shortly after I bought my car without ever hitting redline; nothing definitive on the cause, just putting it out there. Also, if you're going to cam the car, why mess with it now when you are just going to have to go back in to change pushrods when you do cam it?

Im not sure when ill cam it? If i ever will. Mainly im scared if the valve spring issue popping up. Its 100% for precaution, not performance.

Yes I do all my own work. Tuning is being done with Hp tuners via a guy in Texas.
Seals are cheap and spring replacement should only take at most 2 hours.

Oh, all right. Well, in that case, figure out which PAC spring you would like to go with and track down a kit (I just Googled around a bit and found kits for pretty much all of their springs). I never bought springs for the stock cam, so I can't help you there. Buy the kit and the compressor tool and go for it

Am i reading correctly that you resuse everything with the pac 1518's? Seals, seats, retainers? Just pop springs in and thats it?

Bumping for last question.

Looks like this is my order:

PAC 1218 valve springs
Valve seals
MSD wires
Tr55 plugs
GM valve cover gaskets.

Autozone for the plugs and wires. GM seems to ve cheapest for gaskets at 15.xx a piece. Any suggestions on where to get the rest? Am i missing something, should i get a different part?

Today I ordered some parts:

PAC 1218 vlave springs
OEM intake and exhaust seals
OEM valve cover gaskets
NGK TR55 g power plugs
MSD red wires

All from Cajun at Bare Essentials Racing. Grand total was 330.64 shipped.

Just got my car back from my buddy. I feel so much better knowing the springs are changed. Ill post the pics he took shortly but he said it was very clean in there, no sludge on anything.

Btw, i thought the factory springs were dual springs

My experience with my LT headers / Mid and stock Ti's is that is not that noticeable while at idle or cruise but when you put your foot into it - another story.

I want to remove the stock Ti's exhaust and go aftermarket but the weight of the stock Ti's is hard to beat - so damn light its ridiculous

Am i better off going with a ported ls6 tb and fast intake or waiting and getting a ls2 tb ported and fast intake? Ive heard mixed things, wanted to get some clairifcation. I found a ls6 tb for a good price locally.
