The howards is possibly made by pac. check the spring specs and if they are the same then use the one that is less $$ id say BUT the other fact is Pac makes their own springs...howards does not...so keep that in mind. our 1218s are $139 shipped.

I was thinking of getting pac 1218 ima conprare pac vs Howard's, but most likely pac 1318 is the best choice. My buddy told me that with the Howard's asa I can ise the ls6 blue springs what you think?

The blue arent as good as yellow were, but i never recommend either for any cam. 1218 is where i start.

May need the tank but you might be ok depending on what your idle is set at. My G8 would try to push or have squishy brakes sometimes at idle. But I have a stock stall too. Just try it out and see, may be just fine.
