i put mine in the dishwasher to clean mine before i ported mine and after i ported them im anxious to get it all put on.

Just dynotuned a bolt on car with that cam a couple weeks ago , put out 384 rwhp and 378 tq (stock heads ) and ran 12.4 at 117 with no slicks and traction problems , very nice streetable cam that makes decent power and will work perfect with those springs .

CC918's work fine with the TR224 cam. Have about 3K on my setup. As for HP.... I personally dynoed 375/363. The numbers are with a CAI, LT headers, custom tuning, Flowmaster 3" catback, and running dual cat converters. Not the ideal set of mods....but shows how good the cam is

Those springs will work fine with that cam. I put on a little more than 15K miles on the first set, and just recently replaced them with another set of blue-stripe 918's.

What is the lift on the cam. 918's are good to .600 lift. If you are going with an agressive ramp rate like the XER .581 lift cams, the 918's will not last as long as with a lower say .563 lift cam. If it is close to the .600 lift the dual springs are better, but the 918's will work.
