They were rated to something around .625 and they were failing at that rate so they dropped the rating to .600 which is what it is at now.

I would opt for those 918s if you plan to have a cam over .550 lift either side. Do it once and be done.

True dat

216/220
.525/.532 114lsa

enough to get a good gain. I'll definitely go bigger later. So i might as well hit you up on those springs. Think you can hold em till I'm ready to install?
