Default springs/retainers for 224/228 cam

right now i have narrowed it down to 3 choices...
comp 918s, tit. retainers, manley pushrods

tsp's patriot package w/ manley pushrods

manley springs/retainers/pushrods..

1st being the most expensive, third being teh cheapest...i'm hearing the manley package would work very well for a cam with .561 lift. so considering i would like to stay within a budget but not skimp on parts...would the manley peices do the trick? or should i wait it out and get one of the other packages?

mostly i just wanna know has anyone had manley springs fail on them with their cam? cause if not, right now its looking like a very good choice. any thoughts/opinions/information...

The manley's are rated for a .600 lift so if your lift is .561 then you've got a ton of clearance.

All three options are very good. I typically like to see people go ahead & get double springs. The great thing about Patriot springs is they should be good for a easy 40k+ trouble free miles. I have all three in stock
