Default spring size ?

So I bought a cam with .605 lift do I need to stick with a spring that is lower ".625" or can I get springs that are good up to like .660 with no problem or HP loss

There are limits as far as going too big a spring , but stiffer springs does'nt mean it takes any power away , as 1 is going down another is going up so it does'nt rob any power , but is harder on the lifters and cam and rockers . It's better to go a little bigger spring than You need .

The choice is yours...If you want beehives try the PSI maxlifes...good to .625
If you want dual spring insurance and possibly longer spring life try Lunati
Gold dual kit...$190 vs. $225...can't go wrong either way
