LOL not really.

My cam is 228/232 .588 .595

PAC 1218's are good to .600 lift. PAC 1518s are good to .650 lift

Price difference is $70 between the two. Will the PAC 1218's be okay with lift so close to the max lift? or should i go PAC 1518's?

Tough call...I don't like putting extra stress on the valvetrain whenever possible, but I'd go with the 15's since it's so close. The 12's would probably be fine, but why take a chance? If you already have the 12's or something like that, you could always sell them in the classifieds Plus, with the 15's you have room to grow if you decide to do another cam swap.

With the aggressive XER lobes I'd opt for the 1518 to take advantage of that little bit of extra pressure at max lift. We have them in stock ready to ship at competitive prices as well
