Here is the first line from that forum... "This only applies to people who have bought them in the last couple months. I don't know if anyone has put a set on their car. They break within a couple hundred miles. It is a manufacturing defect."

I was told by PAC that they had numerous breaking on the late-model Hemi stuff, but none to speak of on the LSx platform. A rep @PAC said last week they were running extensive Spintron tests on both platforms to try and find why the Hemi's were popping them but not the LSx, and then they'd be fixing the issue. We (Texas Speed) have yet to have any break on the LSx stuff we have sold!

Interesting, that the LSx motors have had great results with them from what I have read...yet, they don't last on a Hemi. I was ready to get a set, now I have to reevaluate. Wonder what could have that big of an impact on them...temp, lobe design, poor machining, hemiphobia??
How many miles have you guys put on the 1518's??

If you want a beehive spring that isn't going to break, and will handle .620-.630 lift ALL day, use the PSI 1511 "Max life" spring. I use that beehive on LSL lobe cams with great results and no issues.
FWIW, I hope PAC doesn't have an issue w/ the 1518's. I've installed 2-3 sets within the past few months.

Not to rain on the parade here but Matt@ texasspeed, do you guys cover these if they break or PAC? I know comp backed there stuff when they had problems. I just put a set of these on because they were recommended to me by you guys.

I've had a set on my SC LS2 for 25+kmiles on XER lobes with no issues. Tested pressures 3 weeks ago and all are within tolerances. They will be staying in this year.
