Im trying to find a set of cheap but good valve springs for my VT stage 1 cams since i need to take apart the head anyways. Any suggestions of what and where to get them?

check out Pac Racing's 1213 or 1214, depending on the lift of your stage one cams

I have the Comp Beehive in my heads, those are kinda cheap...if i ever upgrade i'd go with Manley but they are more money. I think the Comps would be good for you.

Im getting ready to put a forged bottom end in my GT and I am going to put those same springs on my stock heads and cams for now so I can hopefully get a little more HP out of the combo ......gonna up the boost to about 12-14 lbs once the forged bottom end is in and just put those springs on the stock heads , hoping it will make about 450-480 rwhp , made 385 rwhp on the stock engine and 10 lbs , but I spun a rod bearing last week .....

I have Manley Nextek springs and I used the stock retainers. No problems going on 1 1/2 years with them in my daily driver and stage 2 cams
