Default will these valve springs suffice? TRAK cam

so i bought a TR trak cam, and i have some hand ported 853 heads with dual 650 lift springs.

the cam card on my cam says

durating @.50 intake 232.70 exhaust 235.16

valve lift w/1.7 intake .595 exhaust .664

on a 112lsa

will i be ok? i dont even see a spring with 660+ lift on their website. im also lost because i see all these diffrent trak cams with different lifts.

please help

There are plenty of PAC springs that can handle that lift and then some. Just get some nice dual springs.

Just call Shane @ Thunder and ask him. We were on the phone for about a half hour today helping me with valvetrain as well. Very knowledgeable and very helpful / nice guy.

Well that's weird because the intake lift should be .600+ and the exhaust should be .598??? I have that same cam and the lift are .644 intake .598 exhaust 112 LSA + 2. I recommend you to get .675 springs.

Why not send the cam card to a machine shop and have springs made for your heads and cam set up. No off the shelf spring is made for any one specific combo.

Beacuse for one set of custom springs, they will be worth what the rest of the engine is.

My cam specs are 231/234 .643/.598 on 111

Dual .650 springs should be just fine for your application. Pretty sure TSP and many other vendors would agree...that is if you don't plan on living @ 6500+

Rev limiter is at 6600. My question is why are multiple trak cams different? So far i havnt seen one with the lift mine has. Plus slight duration differences.

Take a picture of the cam card

My limiter is at 6600 also, but I don't keep it pegged up there. Its not goin to hurt anything by getting .675, I'm just saying it may not be necessary to spend the extra money
