can you have too much lift in your springs?
hi, I keep having alot of people telling me to match my spring lift to my cam lift...I have a set of 241 heads around here with patriot dual gold .650 lift springs in them. my concern is the cam I want to go with is a 230/230 112 LSA. ( cannt give full specs ATM, my other laptop crashed ) but the lift I No-where near .650, would these springs be ok to run anyways? I thought just as long as the cam lift was less than the springs, you were straight...
thanks in advance...

Still, you may be better off getting a spring designed closer to your lift anyways. A spring capable of more lift from a given istalled height will likely have a smaller diameter wire and would probably have to be a stronger (re: more brittle) material to achieve similar spring pressures than a thicker wire.
