I ran Revs with a 563 lift cam, 10000 miles 40 passes. Oh and I live in Mn and drove my car untill the snow came last week. They work great in all weather and conditions IMO

I like the 918's myself when I had a smaller cam before, worked great for the money I think.

I'm still running the 918's on mine, but when its time to replace them, I might try out the crane springs

Patriot is making springs now also. They were cheap and the specs looked comparible to the comp 921's.

Wow that is the same boat I am in,

You have the Manleys with Tit ret for like 180.00
the new patriot double springs with Tit ret for 265.00
and the comp 921s package was 595 or so at TR I think TSP has it for 265.00

I am kinda leaning in the partiot direction right now, but they are a new spring
and don't have much of a track record, but then agian so are the 921s.....


Please let me know what you decide. Any one else with info on why
you would not run one of the above

I have always used the Comp 918s in my car and as well as many other customer's cars with good results. If you don't mind running a single spring, then the 918s are the way to go.

If you are looking for piece of mind, run either the Crane duals or the Comp 921s. The Crane duals are quite a bit cheaper and may fit into your budget better.
