LGM Cam question

Can I use the Comp 918's "beehive" springs with the G5X3 cam? Wasn't sure if the beehive's can handle the gross lift.

Thanks,

I believe the 918's are not rated high enought for this cam. I would recommend the 921 dual spring kit for this cam.

I wouldnt use 918s with that cam. You need to buy some dual springs to run with that cam.

Darn was wanting a light valvetrain. Comps website states that the 918 can handle a max lift of .645
