Default More cam questions will 918's hold this?

CAMSHAFT SPECS
INTAKE EXHAUST

Valve Lift w/ 1.7 Rockers 0.581"
0.588"

Duration @ .050 224
228

LSA 112°



Street / Strip Camshaft
Will require computer modifications
This camshaft uses Xtreme Energy XE-R lobes on the intake and exhaust.

XTREME ENERGY XE-R
The XE-R designs are Comp's most aggressive hydraulic roller ramps to date. They are quicker off and on the seat than the original Xtreme Energy Series, yet they are still stable with rigid valve train and optimized spring selection. These profiles provide even more area than the comparable Small Block Chevrolet designs that are often used by other companies to “grow” a more aggressive lobe for LS-1 applications.


My only concern is that the 918's will not control the valave with this aggressive of a lobe, I know lift wise it looks good, but I worry about harmonics and valve bounce. Any opinions

They sure will. They are recommended by Comp for these lobes.
I have a .581 XE-R and I shoot up to 200 dry on it, shift at 6600 no problem

I know Comp reccomends them, but I don't always put 100% trust in what some guy on a tech line says. PREDATOR thanks for the reply thats what I wanted to hear.

I am going to run them temporarily on my .605 cam I will be swapping out for duals shortly. They shouldn't be a problem at all

918's will handle .605 if installed at proper spec. They are good till .620 for sure.
