You shouldn't go higher than .600 (The spings are rated to be good up to .600, so keep it that way )

You'll be pushing it IMO. Use a different spring and sleep at night.

Here are some results of the TR Old man cam with 918's.. I know that this cam has much less duration but it has .600 lift. Springs were in the car for 10k miles.

Is the 236/.599 going to be that much harder on 918's?
