get some comp cam springs. you can use the springs they recomend for the lift of .512. they are about 90.00 bucks.

that is what i have on my gt40 irons and stock cam right now. will upgrade the cam later but i know the springs are good up to 512 so if i want to run a b,e,f or tfs stage 1 the springs are good.

Trick Flow makes a spring kit for stock Ford heads,it`s $130.00 at Summit Racing,but it includes everything...springs,locks,retainers and even new valve stem seals.Sounds like a good deal.

The trickflow kit is pretty good. That is what I put on my p heads. Everything that you need is in the kit.
