Default Setting up 918 with stock heads

Changing out cams, the hot cam was to small. Replacement will be Comp XE 224/224 565/565 106icl 110lsa . Will need new springs and wanted to go with the 918's but do not no what size spring seat to use for this setup if any. I will be using stock retainers and also am wondering if piston/valve clearance would be a problem
I am picking this cam for good torque I don't like to spin more than 6200rpms unless it is a built motor like my buddies this, car is a daily driver.

just get the 918's. theyll be fine for that cam, and they just replace the stockers without any extra parts, it will use stock retainers. those are the springs im running also.

You can use the stock spring seat. The 918's are a stock sized replacement that can handle some lift.
