i put the 15% basiley spring in every twin cam i open the cam chest on.
i have it in a 96, a 107, and 120R. the spring in my opinion helps at idle and low RPM. at high RPM, the spring does not impact pressure.
i have woods cams in 2 of the 3 bikes with no noise. 1 bike has gear drive cams. the most you can hear is the gears.
while everyone makes their own choice, for 12 dollars. i think its an easy fix, regardless of which oil pump, cam shoes or lifters you use.

Use it if you want but you don't need it with the late higher capacity pumps. Hot idle oil pressure will be 8-10psi which is plenty.
