Default torquer v2 and PAC1218s

Just curious, is the torquer V2 too much cam for PAC 1218s? The numbers say yes but realistically, is the lift too close on the cam for the spring to be reliable?

Thanks

IMO a dual spring like the patriot gold is a better choice due to the aggressive ramp rate of the XER lobes.

You don't want to skimp out on springs. Spend the extra money and have them last longer, and safer.

I beleive they are rated to .600 so they should work just fine.

They would work for that cam... but in my opinion you would be better off with a nice dual spring. Patriot dual golds or some PRC .650" would be much more reliable and wouldn't set ya back too much more. Better safe then sorry IMHO

I run the PAC 1518 springs in my car. They would be fine for your setup.

The .600"s will work, but we recommend the PRC .650" Dual Springs for those more aggressive lobes and also for a longer spring life.
