Default CC 978 springs

my nephew wants to buy the TRex cam, but is strapped for cash on the spring deparment. i told him about the 978 springs, but i was wondering if these springs can handle the lift on this cam. better yet, can the 978s handle the cam profile? thanks in advance.

If it were me I'd at least go with the Patriot Golds.

Comp 921's or Crane Duals.
I think 978's would be cutting it close. They may do, but the first 2 mentioned, and yes, the Patriot Golds would be good.

From another post on this board:

"they coil bind at 1.195"
I wouldn't put no more than .600" lift if you install at the recomended 1.85" and no more than .650" if you install at 1.900"
