Default Which supertech valve spring?

So I reached out to a few people to try and get information but I've not had a lot of luck ... from what I understand super tech makes and B series 85 lb valve spring and a drag only valve spring I've heard that with the drag only valve spring there can be no street driving and it is strictly for the track is this true? My set will be around 800-900hp mainly tracked but with some weekend driving ... any help will be appreciated thanks

From what I understand, the reason the track springs (100lbs) are track only is because the durability is limited to so many hours of use. I can tell you from experience that springs have a lifespan. Not just in the fact that they lose pressure, but eventually will break. More so with higher lift cams. Also, I think they aren't meant for a lot of low idle.
I made 800hp on the 85lbs springs. My opinion is you would be fine with those.
You might want to call supertech and get more advise on those springs and how many hours of use.
