Default what would the lift be???

If i put some 1.8 rockers on? my cam 223 225 564 571 114 would the lift be way to high?

before i buy some 918's i might look at some 1.8 rockers with the double valve springs.

I get the same numbers with my calcs. I would definately go with a double spring with those lifts. What springs are you using now?

He is using 915s. Kevin there were some double springs with 25 track passes on tehm FS on tech might check over ther. COil bind on 918s is 600 so you might want to go a different route. Comps spring kit for the 920(think thats the number) require different valve guide seals and a bunch of **** its like 500 bucks for the springs kit. Just an FYI

The double spring kit on tech was like 200 or so not to bad IMO and he is in Houston. ALOT of the guys over on tech are getting away with running the 918s with titanium retainers on cams with 608 lift and doing jsut fine thats what I would do if I were you. 604 isnt that bad. Im not sure if you have to ge tnew seals and all that for the dual kit it was a patriot set.

yea i have heard with the stock heads, the 5.3 sweetspot is somewhere around .570/.570 lift so unless you are goin with better flowing heads, then you should go with stock rocker ratio and 918s IMO
