For my stage 2 heads/cam setup with a 224/224 112 lsa cam I was thinking of trying out these Erson springs. A few MMS customers have had good luck with them when they had 918's break (either a bad spring to begin with or a failure somehow). The model is the Erson 915046 with titanium retainers installed as well. Im hoping the titanium retainers will lighten the valvetrain a little more and take less pressure off them. Just wanted to know if anyone had any more details on these springs as they look like they support up to the same lift as the 918's and MMS recommended these to me for my setup. Any input?
Thanks! Should have the h/c/i installed in 2-3 weeks with some dyno #'s. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

I ran the Erson springs in my car for quite awhile (with my old 220/224 .532/.535 CompCam). While I didn't have a super big camshaft at the time, they did seem to work well for me, and still had very good spring pressure after ~1 year or so of abuse (everything on my car gets abused). I took them off and switched to the Comp 918's when I changed to the 226/226 .591/.591 cam.

I'd pick the 918's over the Ersons in a heartbeat though. I'm really stuck on the beehive shaped ovate wire design as far as a "drop-in" replacement goes.
