Beehives and boost?

Do they go together? I plan on running 10-12PSI through a t70-t76 and was wondering if the 26918s were suitable for this amount of boost. Thanks.

IMO, no! Spend the little extra on Patriots. It will be worth it.

May I ask why you would NOT want beehives with boost?

I ran 918ish (Dart head stock beehives) springs at 20psi to 7000rpm with no issues at all. But turbos have the exhaust backpressure thing and it depends on your cam and weight of your valvetrain components.
