First, what retainers are you using? When a checked Summit for retainers with 1.110" OD inner spring, the selection was some of the more expensive retainers? If I go with a 1.095" inner step, the Comp 748-16 is only $51.95 / set.
Anyhow, I am looking at the Comp XR286HR cam and they recommend the 925-16 dual springs or the 26120-16 beehive springs. Here is how the comp compares to the Isky" Number 925 26120 8005A Rate 395# 370# 400# Closed 111#@1.900" 155#@1.880" 135#@1.875" 0.500" 308# 340# 335# 0.600" 348# 377# 375# 0.650" 368# 396# 395# Bind 0.725" 0.650" 0.720" Cost $121.13 $213.53 $149.95
The Beehive springs would be nice, but the description says they are 0.590" max lift, and if I run a 1.7:1 rocker arm, my lift will be 0.617"
I was also looking at the Hughes HER3642BL cam which is the same 0.050" duration as the comp cam with a bit less lift, and narrower LSA, but costs $87 more than the comp cam, and the recommended valve springs are much stiffer, 185# closed, 505#@0.650" lift? That sounds pretty stiff for a hydraulic roller tappet cam?
