Ya they are the same grind as the original vt and i will be putting them in within the month after that im getting a tune and ill post the numbers so some input on the spring would be great im not worried about breaking one as the stock springs can take the lift im just worried about floating valves later on down the road if they get too wornout from the extra lift...lol

Unless your lift on the new cams dramatically changed from your old ones you should be fine to run your old springs. What was your old lift compared to your new lift with these cams?

the stock cams lift is .505/.534 and the new cam lift is .540/.550 but with the 75,000 miles.....is that high enough miles to worry about changing them and is that enough extra lift to worry about changing them?

Thanks
