Lingenfelter/Accel?? Anyone used their products????????

I bought their cam specifically for TPI's with modified induction and exhaust. The cams part # is 74211. If u buy that cam its recommended that u buy their double springs,titanium retainers and valve locks which i did to put on my corvette alluminum heads. Are these mods a big improvement over stock. Since i added the springs retainers will i get an higher RPm improvement. What can i expect from the cam to my mods in the sig.

I have not used any of their products but there can not be a more respected name in the small block chevy world than Lingenfelter.

Don't bow to Lingenfelter just yet. He's not as good as some may think. My local engine builder could make an engine just as powerful as him, but it would cost $10,000 less cause Lingenfelter is not engraved in the valve covers!!

Would it matter if i ordered lingenfelter double springs or is that what broke in your combination. I sure hope their product holds up.
