With an ls6 cam don't think you'll be spinning the motor to 7k so youll be ok, if you plan on turning some rpm's I would consider lightening up the valve train with some better keepers and retainers

The LS1 retainers and locks will work just fine.

I have replaced my stock LS1 springs and cam with LS6 springs using the stock LS1 keepers and retainers. Suggest you check for push rod length if using a stock LS6 cam. I ended up using 7.425 (stock LS1 is 7.40).

No problems.

Kinda off subject, but you should probably reset your autocorrect. Apparently, you must text "gay" alot.

It's obvious to me now that my Seinfeld reference from five days ago sailed well over the top of the OP's head
