Default Need help deciding on valve springs.

Just got a new cam(LPE 211/219) for my 1997 z28 and I can't decide on which springs to go with. What would be more compatible, Beehive 26915-16, or Beehive 26918-16?

No reason not to go with the 918's.

I had a 918 snap clean in two about 2 years ago. Had less than 3k miles on them. and i shifted from 4th-5th at around 2k rpm and the engine started acting REALLY funny.... I recommend Patriot Xtremes. Ive been running them since my 918 **** the bed. Car very frequently sees 6500rpm. not a single hiccup

I have a great low mileage set of 1518 beehives, retainers, and seats for sale...... They'd do very well for you.
