Just looking at the #'s, it seems I can pull more mass out of the valvetrain by using beehive springs than by using Comps toolsteel retainers with conventional springs. The PAC 1518 seems to be suitable with this cam, if a bit light on open pressure, compared to the recommended Comp 924-16 spring. Anyone done this before? S/F....Ken M

You might want to find a copy. (Ask me why I know this edition )615hp and 611tq http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J3K94cRC1c
