Comp Cam #26918 Beehive valve springs is a good choice.
You might want to consider CC503 instead.

hey azfba fellow member! go with the 503, its slightly newer technology and seems to be just about the best DD cam. i have one with no numbers to back it up, but so far it feels pretty fast and drives no problem under 2Krpm. message me or make a thread on AZFBA.

Its a good little cam, little old school, but I know of plenty of folks who hit high 11s with that cam and the stock heads. Sounds good too, has some good chop to it. I have heard it in plenty of stroker/blower cars, was a really popular choice years ago for blower cars, one local to me with a T trim and nitrous made 968RWHP with a LT4 headed 385, car was in the mid 700rwhp range with just the blower, six speed and a KTRE 12 bolt for the drive train in case your wondering. But back to that cam, it also drives really well. Back in the late 90s it was a really popular cam if you wanted to pass smog most folks went with that cam or a hot cam, most tuners have tunes down pat for that cam.
