Default ISKY 295D springs

whats the max lift you would run on these springs?

I am thinking about going with a bigger cam but I dunno if I want to spend the additional 600 on the Comp 921s right now.

For a long time the 295D was talked about as the best quality spring you could get (especially with the bad batch of 918s), but I remember Joe from JPR posting about breaking one a while back. I dont know what the lift was on the camshaft he was using but I think it was less than .600?? Maybe he will chime in

The 295 D's are rated to .600 lift.

really? I was told they were rated to .650 lift or something like that.

I have been running a .634 lift cam on mine for more than a year. I was thinking of upping to .650+ lift.

Whoa! Definately go with a dual setup. IMHO I would not feel comfortable with a single spring with anything over a .56x lift.
