good idea/bad idea? Will be using 918 springs unless there is something better? Will my rollers hold up or am I just asking for something to break?
Will 918's hold up @ .600 lift?

Other alternative is with 1.65 SA rollers. Cam peaks around 6k

 

I would not try that, and I don't know much about the scorpions but years ago they were just plains junk

 

You have a lot more alternatives.... but I'm gonna pretty much tell you it's not a good idea to go down this road unless you spend a lot of time on the details of getting the mass down. Basically it's not a cheap way to do it and get it to work.

Bret just to shoot a question at ya? VRE set me up with a 224/230 cam on a standard XE lobe. I plan on shifting the car at 6200 and I am running the Morel lifters, 918 beehives, with the 1.7 Scorpian Rockers. The lift is around .570 .578 and Between the lifters and the RPM I would not think I would have valvetrain problems. I figured we can throw on TI retainers but we may get away with the Steel retainers since the RPM is not crazy.
Can you give me your thoughts??

 

get a custom grind 224/230 with .575/.575 lift on 1.6's....should save you a great deal of trouble with the valve train geometry.

 

I've had problems below that RPM with beehives and Ti retainers with that combination. Basically those rockers cause more issues than they can ever hope to improve. Do yourself a favor, shim up the springs more, ditch the scorpions and get a 7/16 stud Pro Mag, problem solved you will get to 6300rpm without issue.
