spring life question How long would dual springs last with a daily driven 220/220 .561 on a 114 cam?
I may occasionally do some "spirited driving" i.e. extended periods of running the motor at higher rpm.
I need a cam spring combo that'll last a long time. I'm totally fine on doing overkill with the springs I choose if it means they'll last a lot longer.
I was even thinking about a 216/220 cam because it'll let my springs live a long time. But I'm afraid I'll regret not going to the biggest cam I can that'll still pass smog.
Those are my two main restrictions on cam choice, passing smog and long spring life.
