Just out of curiosity...if you dont have an idea of how the cam is going to be, why on earth would you order it? not being smart...just curious...
but it should be a pretty good cam..ive seen close to and over 400rwhp with cams close to that one....whos cam is that?

I would assume unless you have heads that you would put in the stock 7.400 length pushrods.
Also I would probably go with double springs with a lift that high ... something like the 921's.
Oh, and I agree with BLKWS6 ... why the hell would you order something as important as a cam before you had any idea about it at all?

i do know about that how come i am askingit is stock heads thay are 7.400 i got headers and no cats tnt 150shot stock ls1 int i just dont think it is a good to put the 918 on there that how come i am asking can i run them for a year tell i can get new ones
i am agreeing with phantom on this. With that lift you might wear out the springs they ordered for you. doubles might be a safer but, just IMO also why the shorter rods, to compensate for the lift of the cam?? cant say i have seen this happen too many times..
just research the cam better, and were did you get it from??
good luck with this setup since you just pretty much walked into a room with black people with you wearing a KKK suit. some probs might be happening

yes Phantom, our little assoc. reaks havoc everywere on this board!!
Yes you need new valves springs, actually no......
YOU NEED TO SELL YOUR CAR, AND PURCHASE A HONDA DEL SOL.
you will break valve springs with that .600lift. 921's are a good spring, and should last well, and stock pushrods will be fine, unless you have had the heads milled and what not or anyother head changes we or you do not know about.
sorry for being an ***, just think you should have researched this one out a little more!
