Default 918 springs good enuff for blown D1SC making 14 lbs with a 224/228, .575 lift, 114lsa

On a D1SC set-up making around 700rwhp on 14 lbs of boost? I know these springs are good to go at least up to .600 lift (918s and mine are brand new), but does this boost level make it a necessity to run a double spring, or should I be good to go!!

Personally with that much boost and the cam addition, I'd want dual springs for tighter valve response.

We have several customers with boosted applications that run our Patriot Gold kit. They have have been very happy with the results.

Another vote for the duals. With what you have invested already, it's a small price to pay for some added insurance. Your car must be ridiculous when you lay into it. 700rwhp/3100#'s
