918 springs good?

i was going to go with a 224/228 .581/.588 110 +0 size cam and was wondering if the 918 springs would be enough to handle this? FWIW its a daily driver and maybe see track time three times a year.

Those will work fine. The 918's are rated to .625" lift. I had those springs in my last setup with the TR224 no problems.

thats the cam that the guy talked about in the torque out of ears thread. Will 110 lsa work very well in an auto app? And that guy had after market heads, do you think it will produce similar results(less due to less flow i know) results?

They work OK for me. Only had them for a few months. Car revs up a lot quicker. Mods in sig. Good Luck!

fine hear as well, just warm up your car, they are more brittle than the stockers, they need to warm up before you hammer on them.

Not the same cam as the torque coming out of my ears thread.

918's would work well with the cam you listed, but not the other
