Prc vs comp cams .675 lift weigh in

Has anyone out there compared the 2 springs the prc price is way more approachable if they perform the same only thing is I read on ls1tech that the prc spring weren't accurate on some of the specs need anyone's input.

The PRC .675 spring kit is a Extreme High Tensile strength design that has been proven many many times to work very well. We've recently made engine dyno pulls past 7500rpm with a steel valve & nearly .700" of lift with the .675" spring kit!

The PRC spring kits are carefully designed and tested. To date there are over 30,000 of the newest version of the .675" springs out on the market!!

I don't know what spec they say aren't accurate, but your welcome to get a set and have your local machine shop check them. They are without a doubt one of the best LSx springs on the market.

I think the bad rap for PRC springs came from a bad batch. From what I've read (not experienced), they cleaned up that problem a long time ago.
