which spring?
which spring? Its about time for a valve spring swap on the ol' TA and am debating which route to go...I currently have a TSP 224R cam with a set of 918's. Should I go back in with a set of 918's or upgrade to a set of dual springs? I found a nice deal locally on a set of REV 1116 dual springs/tit. retainers but I had heard before that dual springs on a small cam like mine would actually rob power...is this true? Also what are your opinions on the REV dual springs mentioned? Thanks in advance for your help!

The single vs dual spring deal is really up to you though I am not a fan of beehive springs in general so I'd go with the duals.
As far as the REVs are concerned, I've had a set on my car for almost two years now and, yeah, they're getting tired and I'm replacing them this week in fact, but they've done a great job in my car.
FWIW, I'm putting a set of PRCs in this time.
This thread is like deja vu.

Comp 918's with matching Comp titanium retainers is the best way to go.IMO
