Default Msd dist question?

I have the billet msd dist in my 93 lx. The car is now carbed with a 600cfm holley. Other mods to the engine include X cam, E 7 Heads are port matched, Msd 6AL, Msd Hi-Vi Coil, EdelBrock Performer Rpm intake mani, 1 5/8 shorty headers, 2 1/2 H pipe, External Mallory Pump, Holley AFPR and pulleys. I was told I have the wrong advance spring in my msd dist that is why I am getting a bog when snapping the throtle back quickly. I was wondering if anyone knew what spring I am supposed to use? I have the springs that came with the dist but dont knwo which one to use!

Don't assume that advice is correct...bogging can have other causes. Mismatched cam and rear gears, too much carb, not enough initial timing...

well i use the fastest advance curve which i believe are the lightest springs. this will help you advance faster and kill some of the bogging but with that x cam you need some gears in the range of 3.73 or 4.10.
