I run the K-motion K-800 springs and change them every couple years. Zero issues with 5 Drag Weeks on these parts along with weekly bracket racing at my local 1/8 mile. Relatively inexpensive parts that seem to work in my combo.

My set-up is pretty mild compared to many Drag Weekers including Richard Guido (guidos on here) and he drives his car to the events racking up 5000 miles in a couple weeks time. It all kinda boils down to your budget and how much maintenance you're willing to do between the drives.

I'd guess the majority of faster Dragweek cars are running high lifts. The thing about dragweek it tests parts. You break you upgrade...FWIW with my higher lift hyd roller I've had zero failures in 11 years with 2 different cams and valve spring packages.
Dragweek is on my bucket list.
