Scoobs, Casano had issues with that same cam & 918 springs. I saw some nice little eyebrow's on his pistons when the heads came off of the motor.

No **** Benji? Great! I am going to give thunder a call, btw, who is Casano? Ive got something in the works for a bigger cam, but i may just build a motor. Cant let the Blue Bastards have all the fun.

Can make it over tomorrow or Sunday early in the day. Should be able to swap the springs in about 1 to 1.5 hrs.

You are right it was the Old Man cam, I knew it was one of those with about .600 Intake lift. Still he had issues with a .600" lift cam on 918's.
