Default Springs for TSP 231\237 cam?

What springs are good for a TSP 231\237 cam? Will the 918's work & are they dependable enough or need a dual spring? Thanks.

PP gold springs, you can use the 918's but once priced out with the tit. retainers there almost the same costs *** the PP golds

We've been running the 231.237 with 918s without a problem If you don't mind the extra $$$, you might also consider the Crane or Patriot double spring packages.

when i do my TSP 231/237 cam swap i am going to be going with the comp 921's(dual springs) with titanium retainers just alittle more insurance with a that big of a cam.i have heard of the 918s letting go and dropping valves and that is when you engine goes BOOM!!

thunder racing sells the comp 921 spring kit-P/N 63-26921-KIT(www.thunderracing.com)

I would recomend spending the little extra $$ and getting either Patriot Gold springs, Crane, or Comp 921. The 918's will work, but a little to close for comfort for me
