    Opinion on springs?

    Need some input on springs. Cam will have .620 lift. I've looked at PAC 1518s (which supposedly you can use stock retainers with) and a few others. Any input here? The springs are rated to .650, but I'm not sure I trust a beehive even at .620. A dual spring would probably be the way to go, but if you guys have had success, I'll go with the PAC. Patriots are on backorder from what I hear....

    Just iffy on a beehive with that much lift. Doubles are 10$ more.

    lift wouldnt be as big of a factor as the type of lobes that are on the cam. the pac 1518's are rated to a .650 lift but if you have a cam with aggressive lobe like the xr or xer lobes you would prob want the doubles...a less aggressive lobe you would most likely be safe with the behives

    I feel like 10$ is just safe insurance.
