If you're going with a Futral cam, I'm pretty sure Allan Futral will be able to give you all the information you need regarding the right springs to survive with his cam.

thanks Q,
hey BADZ do you think those 918's will last though...i think im mistaken but arent the 918's the one's everyone is having problems with as well as the 941's? or is there a difference between the single 918's and dual 918's besides the damper?...hhmm come to think about it i havent heard of any news on a dual 918..thanks bro..i will look into it...do you know what the dual 918's are rated at lift wise also?...thanks alot <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
