Take a look at Pac Spring. Anything that is a new high silicon pacalloy process spring will last forever. I recently used a set of Manley Nextec on Hp500 heads. They are made by PSI Spring, as are Isky springs.

Jim, call Eddie he's not to far away. He will sell you the right upgraded retainers and keepers to go with the springs.

Whats the diffrence between the 8205, 8205 PLUS, and 8005sp? If my leak down shows good should I still replace them since it has 360 Hours?

Leakdown really doesnt tell you whether your valve springs are weak or not. I would replace them at 360 hours.
