Re: Will 918 springs work with this cam I would do it with stock valves, but no way with larger than stock. I notice you have GTP heads. Did they not come with double springs?

Re: Will 918 springs work with this cam It's a good spring, but that's an awfully big cam for that style spring. You could get away with it, but not for long. I would look for an alternative. I'd rather do a job once knowing that's it's fine instead of worrying about it.
