seems like the futral cams are agressive. id go with a quality dual. overkill is better than borderline.

and 99camaroSS_, its so cheap to buy the new PP Gold kit why would you want to find just the springs from a member? AFAIK most sponsors will only sell the Golds or the PRC's as kits.

If you have decent 918's already installed you can prob get away with running them for a while. That'd save you a little although I'd prob look into duals next time you go back into it.

Yea im just gunna look for the Gold Kit. Plus once i get the other cam and springs out i can turn around and sell them. Since i bought the 918s brand new about 5k miles ago. So its really not that much after i thought about it. Especially when i can get 200+ from this comp cam as well. Thanks for all the help guys! i should be gettin the FMS f14 cam in about 2 weeks. Im graduating then, and im starting to rake in the dough to buy it! 
Cant wait to get it. Then this summer after working for about 2 months ill be able to get some TEA Stage 1.5 Heads!

you were talking about getting tea heads, if they are milled then you could have some problems or if they have bigger valves. i think f14 on stock heads you are OK but im not 100% positive, always good to check though. but if you are getting heads i woudl definately check into it
