Re: Will LT4 springs work with my new cam?

The question isn't whether they will work, but whether they will last. I'm running LT4 springs (12495494) with the titanium caps on 2.02/1.60 valves over a 07-306-8 (.510/.540) cam, and it has held together for 18,000 miles so far. You will have to install them no tighter than 1.78".
