Personally after having a set of REVs doubles break, I went with the Crane doubles. Whatever you do make sure you get doubles

These are the ones I got from TR
40-144832-16 Crane Cams 144832 Dual Valve Spring Set
40-144661-16 Crane Cams Titanium Retainers
40-144460-16 Crane Cams Hardened Spring Seats

918's should be perfect for your application, Ive been using them with TI retainors, and stock retainors for about 30,000 miles now.

That's what I went with (10 more to install); Thunder Racing strongly recommended the 918s. Heck, who am I to doubt TR. Same cam as you too.

Blue stripe 918's here with same cam and about 10K miles. Titanium retainers would be nice too for the weight savings on the valvetrain.

Krab, I forgot to mention the Ti Retainers, they feel to me to be about 50% lighter, and stronger too.
