Question Crane 832 dual valvesprings and LPE GT2-3?

Hi,
Newbie here. I was just wondering if the new Crane dual valvesprings (832's) would be a good match for an LPE GT2-3 camshaft.
Thanks for any information.

When I purchased that cam LPE said they used Comp 918s with it. I used Manleys with mine though.

What's the lift on that cam ? You might be fine with 918's.

Specs are 207/220 .573/580 118.5 LSA. I was thinking of the Manley nex tec's, but thought that if they would work, the crane dual springs would give me a little margin of safety over a single spring design.
Thanks to all for the replies.

You should be fine with 918's.

Have you check Patriot's Dual Springs ? Texas Speed sells them.

Talked with Ed @ LPE about this cam. He said 918's but make sure they are blue stripped 918's

The cranes are a bit overkill since they are rated at .650 lift. You should be ok with some 918's or Manley's. If you really want the extra security, the cranes are a good choice.

Thanks to all. Texas speed had the Cranes for the same price as the patriots. I guess I got some decisions to make!

Best place to spend the few extra dollars is the valve springs etc..

Cranes seem like a smart move. IMHO.
