Default comp 918's gonna be enough?
Ok so I have the comp cams part #54-444-11 specs are 224/230 duration at .050 with the lift at .581/.588 all on a 114lsa. I plan on running about 7lbs of boost with this cam do guys think the 918's are gonna be enough spring with this cam and 7lbs of boost on top of it? all input appreciated.

I would do a stouter spring. But I have seen people get by with 918's with low boost & low rpm's.
