The 918s as mentioned above are good to .600 lift. With that being said I like the extra security of duals when getting that close. Alot of people have ran even closer to that .600 with the 918s though.....so it's your call.

FWIW I ran the patriot duals when I had the TSP 225/225 .589/.589 cam in my previous car, I liked them just fine.

Go patiot Gold there duel springs and good for .650 lift and will last longer because of less stress and the added inserance of duel spring so if one breaks you want drop a valve and granaid you motor and the price is not that much differance,Ive run the gold's for over two years now with the T-REX .609/.614 lift at rpm upto 7600 and not had any problems at all with the springs

Yep, especially if you don't have an 01 model which already has the LS6 oil pump.

The Patriot Golds are a great choice. They are $255.00 for the complete kit with springs, ti retainers, super 7 locks, machined spring bases, and viton rubeer seals. You will be well pleased with their performance.
