The best comment I have regarding the 1518 PAC springs is simply that they will let my engine rev up to 7k if I let it get that far..

I was used to my last setup, and during break in this new one revved up faster than I was prepared and came very close to touching 7k a few times. Obviously the lighter pistons and flywheel make it easy to spin but the valvetrain showed no signs of drama. This is a new LE2 cam (less duration more lift) with steel retainers. 1.75 install height.

My last setup with an older LE2 cam (more duration less lift) and 987s would start to show some float at 6500 or so. Also with steel retainers.
