yes..they can be used, but I would suggest the Patriot dual spring kit. The price is great for a complete kit with tit. retainers and all. I run this on my setup.
$255 shipped

I wish I would've known about those before I ended up paying about $370 for all my Comp Cams stuff.

lucky haha i bought all my 918 parts new. but they were well worth the price. those patriot springs look like theyll do just fine. its actually not a bad install on an LT1. i thought it woulda been harder with the engine being so far back and all. but so far i love them

I'm running a set on my car with I think, PN 987-16 retainers, and stock replacement locks. seems to hold up just fine on my car for the past 10k miles of hard driving.

I friggin hate beehives.
Had comp 918's- busted 3
Had PAC1218's - worn out in one year which resulted in float
Had PSI LS1's - Not enough pressure which resulted in float
Had Manley beehives - Busted 5
For stock or mild cams, they might be fine.
I changed the cam and reduced lift . ~.030" and got Patriot dual extremes. Very happy
