I would consider a dual valve spring. If a spring where to break with a single, your screwed. Having a dual valve spring is a great safety net. Are you running hardened push rods? Didn't see that in the list. I would get with Chris from Circle D for your converter.

Thanks for your suggestion really appreciate it

i saw many of my friends using PAC single springs without issues . but i will ask them again if they have a problems with it .

do you know how much its going to cost me for the converter ?

and how much the weight of it .

Regards .

Don't run springs that your friends use. You need to run a spring that meant for your setup. If you just throw in any spring you will run into problems. You really should get dual valve springs.

Cost of a converter isn't cheap. Depends on the size you go with and if you want a single or triple disk. I want to say mine cost around $1,000
