Exclamation Valve spring advice on turbo GSR

Anyone have any experience with Supertech dual valve springs on a boosted car? I have heard alot of good things about Skunk2 Pro series and i am leaning toward buying them but was wondering if there is anything better out on the market around the same price. Oh if it makes a difference i will be running Skunk2 Pro1 cams

the supertechs are a GREAT springs with nice seat pressure for almost everyCam out there.they will handle your pro1's with no problem the pro springs are a great 2part design but ONLY to be used on Race apps.

Supertech make great valve springs. I usually recommend them to everyone. Just remember. You have to have the right setup for Skunk2 Pro1's to make power. I've seen them loose power on small turbine log manifold setups

I don't want to sound like someone ungreatful for your advice because I know you know alot more about what works and what doesn't but I am running a Sc61 on a top mount tubular manifold with a 44mm tail WG. Is this a large enough setup for Pro1's

I assume it is a T350 Stage 5 turbine wheel. I really wouldnt run Pro1's on anything smaller than a 66mm/67mm with a P trim turbine wheel. All you can do is try though They could work great with that exhaust manifold and turbo combo

Look into some Skunk2 tuner 1 cams for your application or consider some good old itr cams.

Question does the boost level matter when it comes to turbo size vs cams

"I really wouldnt run Pro1's on anything smaller than a 66mm/67mm with a P trim turbine wheel. All you can do is try though They could work great with that exhaust manifold and turbo combo"

i am planning on sleeving the block and running 20+lbs does that make any difference on the turbo size for the pro1's. I wish i was able to come in to the shop and ask the questions in person
