Default Anyone running 918's with a .590- .600 lift Cam

Wanted to see how many people are running this setup.I've personally never had a problem with 918's but I'm upgrading to the new Thunder Cam and intake lift is just under .600.

Thanks

I ran 918s on a 588 lift cam and lost 2 of them.

Personally I think it is more in the spring setup itself.. The 918's are a good spring.. I am out almost every weekend following the hidden races.. Just to keep up to see who the victor is sometimes I have to go to 6800rpm shifts.. I have dyno'd my car on several occassions and my #'s have not fallen off..

This is good to hear.I really don't think double springs are better.I've seen doubles snap too.
I have under 4k on mine now.

Looks like I'll be safe if I change the springs yearly.That will be no problem

.588" lift on my cam. 918's been holding strong for about 18 months now- 22k miles of hard driving. They see 6600 quite often and the car feels just as strong as the day the cam went in.

I was too scared to run 918' s on my .595 lift, so I went with 987's. They may be only slightly better, but at least a valve wont drop.
