no we just care about you 
don't want you to make the same mistakes we've or others have made, I went through two sets of valvetrain components before I finally got in touch with ED, first set was stock afr stuff......then what comp recommended then finally a ps-3 kit from ED which corrected my issues, I had float occurring, which tore up spring retainers, now grant it your issue is different, but on a side not I just popped a head gasket on my 85. decided to sell my afr 185's and go with tfs 203 cc's which are a custom cnc port set up from ED at flowtech, the choice was between ED'S 203'S and TEA'S 205'S, and I spoke at length with TEA and ED, there were various differences valvetrain being one and the fact that ed knew my cam and it's requirements since he designed it, TEA all they offered were 2 spring packages, the standard and one upgrade good to xxx lift. there is more to choosing the proper spring then just xxx lift, which is why I let A PRO in the category do it, so far so good, we'll see if the new set up roars

Piston: Hey valve!
Valve: Hi piston!
Piston: Im gonna slam you so hard...
Valve: No you aren't!
Piston: Yes I am
Valve: Why?
Piston: Because our builder is a cheap *** and never replaced your faulty springs
Valve: Oh ****!
Piston: Here I come... Hope you enjoy the way I bend you over!
Valve: ...This is gonna suck!
