What valve springs for this cam?? Here is the cam:
Comp cam 228.
Gross Valve Lift: .570/.570
Duration at .050: 226/226
Lobe Seperation: 114.0
Lobe Lift: .3350/.3350
Duration at .006 Tappet Lift: 279/279
Valve Timing at .050: Open Close
Int: 3 btdc 43 abdc
Exh: 51 bbdc 5- atdc
Part# 54-000-11
Grind# LS1 3716R/3716R HR114+4
Serial# V8363
*I'll be running this in a '98 motor with milled/ported/polished '98 heads and a LS6 intake. What springs should I run with this? I've heard horror stories about the comp 918s, and someone recommended Rev springs. Can anyone help me? I'm also concerned with piston-valve clearance? I'm new to the LS1 scene, and need some help. Also, I was gonna run this in an A4 car, but now I'm going with a T56. Should I get a different cam? I want to go mid/low 11s NA with this. Any help greatly appreciated! TIA

There is a way. other than claying I couldn't tell ya what it is. Not too hard but a little time consuming. Honestly that cam is small enough I wouldn't worry about it. Let's see what others say about it.
