218/224 .555/.556 115+4 Cam. What springs to use?? Would the 918 springs work well? I DO NOT want springs that I'll have to check every 10k miles or anything. I want to be able to throw em in my car and run it forever (if possible lol).
The reason I'm asking about the 918's is because I can always find em super cheap on the board here. Also heard about the patriot gold dual springs being good too though

You should be able to run 918s with that cam, no problem. Just don't expect them to last 100k miles.

I ran LS6 springs on the cam I ran thats simular to yours but they were just temporary. It ran fine all the way to 6700(which was over rev) without valve float on the dyno just to see lol.

damn! those pac 1518's are good to .650 lift! And they're $326 from their website! This is a budget build guys. The pac 1218's look okay, they're good to .600 lift and only $183.
Didnt the 918's already get redone so there's no issue with them anymore?
