What valve springs to use with the melling mtc-5 cam?
I read on here you can use v8 springs but which ones? Are there any advantages over the stock springs?

Thank you project89 
I just checked out your website are you going to be making headers for N/A setups? I'm about to put a 3.1 in my car as a temporary and next year I'm going to be getting a 3.4 to put in.
