Default .575 lift springs

the cam i am going with for a forced induction build is only .540 lift. i was wondering what springs to go with that are not over kill. preferably the beehive would be great.

A set of Re-designed (gunmetal grey) Comp Cam 918's would not be overkill

Hell Patriots duals would be fine too & I believe they are only $255 for a complete spring kit w/tit. retainers. Your not gonna get too much spring unless you go with something stiffer than the Partiot duals. They will cover your lift by a good amount & you'll also have better valve control with a little stiffer spring. You don't ever wanna be real close to your springs max lift rating. I like a decent cousion in between the cam lift # & spring lift. That way you know your spring isn't at it's max or close to it all the time.

The Manely Nextek Springs are a great choice and I used them when I intially installed my cam. I put 20K miles on them and had no issues. I purchased these from Scoggin Dickey and they came with Ti retainers. I chose the PRC Dual Valvesprings this time around. I was always concerned about dropping a valve with a single sping since I was running 0.575" lift. The PRC Duals are good to 0.650" lift and come with hardened seats, springs, Ti retainers and valve stem seals.
