Default Spring ? for Scorp(or anyone else)

I know you've done a lot to your engine, what I would like to know is on the 87 Vette heads, what's the largest diameter spring you can run without having the seats machined? :cheers:

You can't run anything larger than the stock spring without machining the seats. Best bet is to have the machined to the LT1 size springs. They have a much better assortment of springs to choose from.
