Texas Speed .660" POLISHED Dual Spring Kit w/ PAC Valve Springs 2 Piece Seals
The all new polished TSP .660" spring kit featuring PAC valve springs is the newest offering in valve spring technology offering the latest processes and material for maximum spring life. PAC Racing is a leader in valve spring technology, so it was only natural to team up with the best in the valve spring industry for our latest offering in a valve spring kit! We have developed a .660" dual spring kit with the help of PAC Racing that still offers excellent valvetrain control, even for the more aggressive hydraulic roller camshafts. These valve springs will offer excellent durability and stability and will work well with factory-style lifters. PAC polishes the valve springs, which helps to increase the overall life of the springs. This greatly reduces the chances of spring fatigue and failure. PAC's polishing process is completed without losing any pressure in the valve springs, so you maintain all of the capabilities of the non-polished version.
Kit includes: Spring Seats, Valve Seals, polished Dual Springs, and Titanium Retainers (utilizes GM factory valve stem locks, not included); This kit will NOT use the TSP integrated seat and seal. The seat and seal will be separate.

Texas Speed LS 7.400" Hardened Pushrods
Hardened pushrods are a must for any valvetrain upgrade on your LS based engine. These TSP chromoly pushrods feature .080" wall thickness & are designed for stability under high rpm use.
These one-piece pushrods are heat-treated and feature oil holes that are drilled and chamfered to prevent stress fractures and cracks.
These 5/16" pushrods are available in many lengths. Standard LS1/LS2/LS6/L92/LS3/L99 length is 7.400"
If your building a custom valvetrain setup you might consider purchasing the Comp Cams adjustable pushrod measuring tool. At only about $20 it's a perfect tool for making sure you get exactly the right pushrod length for your application. A large number of variables are involved in determining the correct length pushrod for your application.
Pushrod length is affected by any of the following: Block deck height
Head deck height
Head stud boss height
Rocker arm brand/design
Cam base circle size
Lifter design/brand/pushrod seat height
Valve stem length
Don't assume anything when determining the right pushrod for your new engine. A pushrod that fits one engine may not necessarily work in another. Any number of items can be different on your engine, requiring you to use a different pushrod length.
