O.D
I.D:
seat pressure: 90 @ 1.800
open pressure: 294 @ ?

How many miles on those springs with that cam ?
My guess is that it should be fine for 50K miles or so...ASA has a very low lift....
Manleys are good for .600 lift...

well my car has only 36k miles, springs should be something like 20-25k and cam is new

I don't want to install them because I am lazy, if I don't need to I am just going to sell them they are still brand new
