Default Best valve spring for ls6 cam + boost?

Any reccomendations for a good valve spring for an LQ4 with an LS6 cam and boost? Last setup I ran the LS6 yellow springs and had some valve float issues and wound up wiping cam bearings. I was thinking a spring with a max .600 lift would be enough, but I'd like to hear some input. Thanks.

out of the 68 people that viewed this thread, not one could help? Dang :/ Well bought some PAC springs last night that are good till .650 so we'll see how that plays out, hopefully its not too much load on the cam.

Comp 918s should do the trick for you.

IMO, have you looked at the PAC 1211X Valve springs?
Higher spring rate then the 1518 and $50 less, but rated for a .625" lift.
