If you are on that tight of a budget, the 918 spring should be sufficent for the TQ2. However, you will probably want to pull a couple off once a year or so (depending on mileage/year) to check seat pressures. We have had numerous customers run that cam and spring combo with no problems. IMO, I would scratch the rod bolts and upgrade to the PRC Dual Springkit. There is no reason to be turning that cam over 6700-6800 RPM. I would set you limiter at 6800 and you will probably end up shifting the car at 6500 or so.

We have cam packages with both Comp 918 and PRC Dual Springs. Let me know what questions you have and we'll make sure we are your one stop shop for everything you are needing!

I run the 918 and have about 35,000 miles on them and have checked them regularly used to be a DD. Now looking at a new set up. the 918's are fine but with the dual valve spring kits you get a lot of other stuff I would replace on a higher mileage motor- ex. valve seals
