Default dual or single valve springs

I am getting this cam from thunder 230/224 .575/.563 111 LSA just want a few opinions. Will I have to worry if I get single?

comp cams 918's (single) would be fine because there good to a .600 lift, but you will have to change them sooner than a double spring. If price isn't a factor go with dual valve springs which can handle i believe a .660 lift. I recommend precision from Texas speed performance.

Agreed with what ^^ he said , your fine with singles, but you can never be too cautious, esp with breaking a valve spring..

Excellent cam by the way. I know first hand that 918s with Ti retainers are certainly up to the task with no valvefloat all the way to 6900 RPM.

If you can spring for the duals (no pun intended) go for them, but also keep in mind the 918s are more than sufficient.
