Get the #2 package it's a little more but you'll be able to play more with it. You'll be pushing it using 918's with the torquer 2.

i am running comp 918's with a 233/239 .595/.603... I ran my last cam on these springs for around 14,000 miles, i ran this cam for 6,000 miles. I will probably swap them out with another set of 918's... No probs, no valve float. Guys at Texas-speed say its not a problem to run 918's with these cams.
It would be nice to do the dual springs next time for extra insurance, but who knows..

BTW, i drive this car 30,000 miles a year with this set-up and couldnt be more happy!
