Default Can I use Manley Nextek Springs I have on an MS3?

I have a set of Manley nextek springs part #221423-16 sitting on the shelf and was wondering if it would be ok to use on an MS3 cam? Her is a link to them on Summit racing.

no... those springs are only good to 575 lift.... the ms3 is 603/609 lift

you will run into coil bind...

also, that really isnt really enough spring pressure for that cam...need more pressure for better control with the lobes the cam uses.

Yeah i just looked them up on Manley's site and saw the max lift. What would be a recommended spring for an MS3?

I just ordered a set of Brian Tooley's .660 lift springs.

Specs are 155 lbs @ 1.780", 380 lbs @ 1.180", 400 lbs @ 1.130, coil bind @ 1.070"
