Comp 918's or Rev dual springs? Would you suggest comp 918's for a cam with .568 lift or the Rev dual springs? I think the Rev's are overkill and will add more noise. The 918's should be fine IMHO.
Any ideas?

Re: Comp 918's or Rev dual springs? If anything the revs would seem like they would be quieter because of the moe spring preasure to hold everything tighter <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: Comp 918's or Rev dual springs? Well, I guess I was wrong about the noise. I swear I read that somewhere. Anyway, since the valve seals need to be replaced does that increase the chance of burning oil after the install? Also how much extra time does it take to install them? I already have the 918's. Should I go through the trouble of getting the Rev's?

Re: Comp 918's or Rev dual springs? 918s only had a issue with a bad batch. The new ones have been ok so far I believe.
they offer all the spring pressure you really need for most Hyd cams <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Comp 918's or Rev dual springs? i AGREE with i8cobra, if a spring happens to fail i would feel much better with that second spring which would most likely prevent you from dropping a valve and causing thousands of dollars in time, damage and heartache.

Re: Comp 918's or Rev dual springs? I also have the Rev 1116 springs, I am running a cam with 567 lift. The Rev springs are no noiser than stock on my car. As the other guys said having the second spring to hold the valve up in case of a spring failure can save you thousands of dollars in damage to your engine.
