    You're Quick, I bet the ladies tell you that to LOL. Sorry couldn't resist. Are you sure about the springs? not to doubt you but I read that the 918 were the recommended spring?? Will comps high tech 5/16 7.400 rods work? part # (7955). Sorry to pick your brain but I want to get this in.

    Sorry for the late reply, that's what's recommended because you're running a mid lift cam but I'd install the 918's just to be safe. Yes, the 7.4 rods are correct also.
