valve spring question...

[86 got boost]

I have a 206-Q cam from precision turbo need to know what a good spring to use, was lookin at a set from southeast turbo, and some from poston...

flat tappet?

go with what the cam mfr recommends.

I think the old LT1 springs are the closest choise for flat tappet cams but go with the mfr on this.

Im using 104 lb springs on my flat tappet 206/206 cam- no problems 15k miles.

hay blues were did u purchase, southeast turbo has 100lb will they do...

Those 100 #'ers probably are the LT1 springs.

Did I understand you correctly: PTE is out of the Buick's?

I am sure they are not the Mfr but it seems weak for them to not offer some answers about the parts they sell

Try the LS1 springs instead. They are a beehive spring and they work very well. You will have to cut the valve stems but that is not a big deal.

Why would the stems need to be cut? Seems like that could cause a rocker/retainer problem

They may not do cams for the buicks anymore but they certainly offer some buick parts still. New owner? My brother has worked there for 3 years, same owner for that time, don't know about long ago. It does suck but all of the vendors for our cars have been offering less. Disadvantage of owning limited production cars that are now 20 years old. The demand for turbo buick parts are getting smaller every year.
