I run bigger on 918's on the stock CID. Basically double springs would be ideal if you are at that lift. I am on limited time before *poof*!

What are the AFR springs rated at?

Rudy, they should be fine. You installed the same springs on my car and my cam is bigger than yours.

The springs are Patriot Gold dual springs. You better make up your mind. That company that offered the Gran Cup cam will sell it to you cheap. I'd pay half price now, and I think someone else wants it too.
