well whatever your cam spec is be sure to give yourself a buffer if its a .600 lift cam run a min of a .625 lift spring if not a .650 lift. On the other hand theres seat pressure to account for. usually a fairly normal ranged spring will be around 180# closed and 380# open. If youre running dual springs that open pressure will be higher. so I would say whatever the comp 921 specs are find the spring thats closest to that if theyre so insistent on a 921.
