Give cam specs.

You might neet to shim the springs for added seat pressures.

Funny, I ran 918s on that same cam.

It will work, use of titanium retainers a plus. I had mine shimmed
if you do not have springs yet, PP golds might make you feel safer.

Use 7.425 p-rods at least, you do not want to light of a preload. (if this is a cam only swap
