What springs do you recommend for your SBC Nitro Cam?

Seat pressure?

240 to 260 on the seat is what I've always used. With and without a rev kit, never any problems...which tells me you could probably get away with less unless you're running a lot of RPM. Mine only ever sees 7200 RPM or so tops.

That's good to know.

There are two schools of thought anymore. 300+ and Just Enough.

I tend to agree with the Just Enough theory.

Thanks for your time.

Just 270 on the seat in my early hemi.
The cam is suprisingly mild and max revs at 8200.
