Question With .512 lift should I stay with single valve springs or go with dual?

i am putting a 280h comp cam w/ a valve lift of .512/.512 in my windsor. i am putting windsor sr heads on it also. should i go w/ single valve springs or dual? it is about $200 diff. between the two. so is it worth the money?

Yes, there is a difference, you can rev it higher with stronger valvesprings. Else you will get valvefloat.

If the single says it will support your lift it will work just fine. Save your money.
