Rev dual springs is what you want.
918's get the job done, but duals are better.

Again, 918's do the job- that's what I run. But, I'll be swapping them out at 15k-18k to be on the safe side. Next time I'll do Revs (and maybe a bigger cam!

My advice is get the C1 and Comp 918's or you will be changing them out every 10K no matter what springs you get.

We run the manley springs with titanium retainers. They sell for 269.99. With that much lift it never hurts to go ahead & spend the extra $$ & go with a titanium retainer with manley's or comps
