Default Pac 1581's with .647 lift?

Just looking around at springs some more and found PAC 1518's. Just wondering what your thoughts are on them. My cam is 235/240 .647/.608 on 112. Would those springs be fine with my setup? Thanks in advance,

Jakson

BTW, I already have Patriot Dual Extremes waiting to be put in. I was just looking around at different options to lighten up the valvetrain and such. Should I stick with what I have?

Doh, my bad, I guess I was dislexic when I wrote this.

I think I might go with a different cam after more research and talking with the local engine builder. I might just get something with a little less lift and run singles without worrying about it.

alittle over twenty thousandths over what the 918's can handle on the intake side. and the duration looks slightly steep for the 918's to keep good control of

These arn't 918s.

For LSK/XFI lobes I'd stick to duals. PAC-1221s, Comp 921s, Patriots, etc. Unless you can fit a 1.445" OD beehive.

Beehives are the way to go with soft to medium lobes (XER, XE, etc).

I do know of a few shops running well over .650 lift with LSK lobes on PAC-1518s (and they're holding up fine), but I can't recommend it.

Whats going on Doug? Sorry about that, late night post that I read incorrectly. Do you have any single springs that will hold .650 on XE-R lobes? (G5 cam with 1.8 rockers)
