You might have better luck getting a response if you put in the cam specs or a direct link to that cam.

210/218 @.050, .551/.551, 112

FWIW, I'm going to run the Crane duals, which are good for .600 lift with that cam. I choose them because 1.) they are from the same manufacturer so they are designed to work together, especially if I add their 1.8 rockers later, 2.) There's a slight safety factor against dropping a valve should one of the springs break, 3.) They are supposed to be one of the quietest springs, which was important to me.

No need for dual. the comp 918 should work perfect in there. EVen the 02+ ls6 will work in there.

Not to jack your thread, but how noisy are the 918s compared to the stock ones and duals?

My 915's, which have less seat pressure than the 918's, sound like a sewing machine...it's not overwhelmingly loud, but you can hear it, especially if you're listening for it.

The Cranes have the same seat pressure as the 918's so they will sound the same.
