Comp 918's.. How long do they last?
Comp 918's.. How long do they last? Curiouse on how much life i could get out of a set of 918's with a daily driver on a mild 224 224 114LSA.. Anyone have any input?

The cam is the T2. But I actually got the cam before it was sold as the T2 from comp cams about 2 years ago. And yes I made that much power with cam and bolt ons. You just have to have the right set up, and have the right tune.

Also depends on how you drive the car. If you race alot, nothing will last long. But if its just a DD/weekend warrior and you choose a mild cam with reasonable lift (.550ish or so).....I think the springs could last 100k.

You think that is crazy...
5 cams:
222/226
224/224
224/230
236/236
244/248
Comp 918's...unshimmed with TI retainers. Still going after 38k and all of the above cams. I am sure that they need replacement, but we will do that when I go bigger than the current 244/248.
They are truly underated for what they really are. It is a marketing scheme if you ask me in order for them to make sales on the 921's for just over .600/.600 lift cams.
Wasn't there several posts recently about 918's breaking, some within 150 miles of installation? Just wondering if Comp got a bunch of bad springs in from their manufacturer. I know at least one person was asked to ship the springs back to Comp for inspection.
