To the OP what heads and valves are on the car. The weight of the valves as well as the cam decide what spring to run.

I am running a comp cam 54-444-11 224/230 duration 581/592 lift 114 LSA
the spring comp cams tech recommended and I am running with zero problems is the 918 beehive. they are in their second generation and can handle .625 lift as opposed to the 1st gen beehive spring at .600 lift.

I agree 918's will work, but I would rather spend a few bucks more on spring that will yield better longevity.... springs are not somethin I want to change frequently.
