Should have sent them to Jim Valako. You would have got the right springs, proper guide clearances , lubricated guides, and he could have improved the exhaust port while he had them. :food-smiley-007:

Some folks (I lied it was BB) got all butthurt when Valako said the AFR exhaust port could be improved. Seems like a moot point when they can`t get a couple sets of heads with the right springs put together.
Poor guy who got Tims head and is thinking hes got a solid roller spring package! ooooops! :party-smiley-051: |

My builder looked them up and he thought the stripe on my springs looked blue, which would have been a pioneer spring and he would have made me change. AFR discontinued use of the pioneer spring sometime late last year, when I talked to AFR he told me that there wasn't even a blue/black stripe spring (pioneer) in there facility when the order was placed for my heads, they were gone long before that. I placed that phone call to get it all straight to assure my builder, and had them send me pics of the pioneer spring with the blue/black stripe to confirm. The pac spring has a green stripe on them, if it has a blue/black stripe it is a pioneer spring.

Well, FWIW, this is what Jegs lists as the specs for the green stripe AFR springs. It lists a spring rate of 645 lb/in - does that sound right? Take it for what it's worth, I would verify your spring rates with a spring tester. It doesn't say if this is the PAC spring, so it might be something different.
