lifter and springs help ok im buying with my xmas money a 228R cam. but i dont know which lifters or springs to get. i have heard stay away from the 918 springs but then others have said they work just fine. also im looking for new lifters that wont kick the **** outta my wallet. also if you could gimme some links to what your recommending that would really help me out. thanks
the car is my DD, its a ls1 with LT headers, lid, ls6 intake, and a cut out. i will eventually get a stall when more money comes my way. but again with that idea i've heard having a stall and it being ur DD is not a good idea. dunno but thats a diff. topic.

Old comp 918's used to break, but they redesigned them now and they are fine. I would use those or the PAC beehive springs.
LS7 lifters will work fine with your setup. They are about $130.

All good advice above. If you decide on the PAC's the 1518's are worth the extra $$$ because they are nitrided and will last longer than the 1218's. Any of the PP or PRC doubles will work well too but add a little extra valvetrain weight.
And you will be doing yourself a big favor by doing a stall first before dropping in a cam that size. Consider start collecting parts and installing all at once so you only have to have to tune once.....

Verdad Gallardo That's a lot of miles. I would do the lifters and maybe clean up the heads while they are off and lap the valves back in. Nothing major, but a good clean with valve lapping and new valve seals.
