Hope you got good bolts in the bottom end.

Going to need a spring that's capable of handling .600+ lift as with a 1.6 the exhaust side of the 847 is right at .595. Second, don't mill your heads. On a stock bottom end you're close to PTV issues with the 847 as-is, mill the heads and you're asking for lots of trouble on a missed shift.

I can't remember the number right off hand but I believe Comp makes a drop in spring that will work without milling the seats out.

As JPack said, if you haven't, consider a rod bolt upgrade. That cam likes to rev.

The problem with that cam and not reving it up is it will feel like a dog. I have this cam and it loves to rev up to 7k and it comes quick. Granted my set up is built to rev up that high. If you are not going to rev it up and expect 12's, I doubt you will see it. Need at least 4:10 gears, if auto need at least 3200 stall. Buying a cam just for a sound is like having sex with a blow up doll....lmao. Could have put in a 503 and sounded the same and had better outcome and drivability. I doubt you will be happy with your choice.
