The Ti retainers are nice, but the steel retainers for Beehive springs are very small and much lighter than the steel retainer for a conventional spring. The steel retainer for a Beehive spring, I would say, is pretty close to the same weight as a Ti retainer for a conventional spring.

Also, I failed to mention that the Beehive spring setup was about 10 lbs. less on the seat, and IIRC, about 350 over the nose.

Yes. I forget the number, but it was the big one for BB Chevy. I believe it is the biggest/strongest available from them.

The only one that looks close to your 350 open is the 26120 with 388 open, 370 rate and a 1.900 IH @148, I like that one too, but its only good for 600 lift which would work for me since I run just under that with lash, but no room to grow in lift.
