Default What Spring install height? T1 Cam, Stock Heads, Crane Duals.

How do you determine the correct install height? What spring pressure should there be with my cam, and what install height would achieve that pressure? Is there a formula for this determination? Thanks!

Here is a shot of my cam card for reference: http://www.javagator.com/z28/images/cam/camcard.jpg

T1 is a lazy cam. You can run them at stock height and they'll be fine.

I would prefer more of a technical explanation. I know they'll probably be fine at stock height, but I want to excuses for breakage.

Check the current installed height-u need one of those crane tools. Do u have the newer Cranes? After u check the installed current installed height u may need to shim-those springs are only 112 at 1.8, email me after u have checked.
