Comp 918 Springs!!!! Question??? Does anyone know if people are still having problems with the 918's, Ive got a Brand new set and they say their good for .625 lift... Im slapping in the TSP228R cam, Specs: 228/228 .588 .588 112lsa and have a set of Comp 918's with Chromoly push rods to go with my 241's.. But Ive heard horror stories in the past. What do you guys think...

after reading the stories i ended up going with a patriot gold kit, but im sure your 918s will be fine... ive read alot of good about them too
To clarify, the new Comp 26918 is rated to .600" valve lift, not .625".

With a coil bind at 1.10", I never recommend that kind of lift for the 918's (most just don't have the tools or know-how to set that combo up properly/safely). It's just as affordable to get into the PAC 1518 and take advantage of that extra bit of wiggle room from their 1.08" coil bind.

Im running the comp 918's with a 224/228 comp cam in combonation with 7lbs of boost. I havent had any problems yet, knock on wood. Ive got over 6000 miles on them and she still purring like a kitten.
I wasn't in a competition of who should listen to me. I was stating my experiences.
Nothing wrong with the PACs, I use them on occasion. I've just never personally had a problem with a Comp 918, even the "old" batches. Hell, I never broke a 941 spring either, and for the older fellas out there you all know how bad those use to be about breaking. Guess my wrenches just have a touch of luck in them.

Thanks Matt. I'll be calling you guys in a couple of days. Got a customer that wants some of your heads.
