PRC springs will give you peace of mind.PM or call if you need more info.
As far as 918's go,PRC now has a line of titanium retainers to fit the comp 918 springs.

The beehive springs are better than any duals in the range they handle if properly installed. I run mine on .581 XE-R lobes.
They are lighter
Better harmonics
Since the "blue" ones came out, there has been very few failures.
I used to have single spring phobia from reading some "early" comp failures "green" and most poeple preaching the dual safety issue, just as the double roller bandwagon.
918's are some of the best on the market.

918's have a lot more ***** than most people think. they are a hell of a spring and can handle more than .600 lift unlike their advertised max lift from comp. i wouldn't think twice about putting them in your car.

Yeap, if you remember they were rated at .620 or .625 before the 921's were released. Hmmm
Ask Unnafiliated Racing (member), he works for Comp and has good advice.

I just ordered the same cam and went with the dual springs for $100 more.If you drop a valve when the single breaks is gonna be a mess.also on TSP's web site the 233/233 grind shows 589/589...didnt get mine yet(in transit)but wonder if its been updated??

I would go duals, not for "POM" as much as frequent changing. I had the 918s on with my TSP 231/237 with slightly more lift than the torquer and was no problem. Ran that same set on my old TR224 as well, total of over 18mo's/ 15,000miles/500track passes. But, to do it all over again, I would go doubles as ever time I raced I prayed the springs wouldnt break.

That is just one of the cams I personally run. They are set-up at a standard 1.800" and yes at that height the 918 is good for a .650" lift and still .065" before coil bind
