      Valve Springs!!!!!!!!

      so can anyone tell me the specs on stock LT1 (95 trans am) valve springs

      I was gonna order a set of Beehive 918s but every place i looked is sold out for the next two weeks. So now im looking into the 915s.

      I know they can fit on a stock head with no machining needed, but i want to know if i can use my stock retainers and all that other stuff on the springs with them, or do i need to replace all that too?

      i hope not cus im on a tight budget... any help would be appreciated soooo much thanks guys!

      You need to get matching retainers... the beehive springs use a dedicated retainer.
      You might also look at the Isky 235-D with the 707 STA retainer it will fit the stock pocket and take .550 lift
