Goal is to have a light valvetrain

So in your opinion, what is the moving mass of the LS6/918/tit ret/S7 locks ?
If you guess at 1/2 weight of spring so 158.7 - 35.1 = ~ 122.6
would i be right in assuming so?/

If using LS6 valves, is there any limitation as far as ported heads, or the size of the cam ? I understand that I'd have to use custom pushrods to make the geometry right...but is there anything else I should look for ?

if LS6 valves and stock LS1 cam then 7.35
Other than that I think the valve job LS1/LS6 is the same, or at least interchangeable.(valve seats)
