Default Who's ran the B1/T1 cam with LS6 springs.

Just curious if anyone has ran the lunati/mti 221* .559" lobes with the late model LS6 springs. They can accomodate the lift, but open pressure may be too low. If you've ran this combo did you experience valve float, and if so what RPM?

I wouldn't run LS6 springs with either of those cams. I'd run 918's at least.

I'd run aftermarket springs... The PRC Duals are great.
In fact, I have a set of heads with assembled springs and titanium retainers for sale in the For Sale Section.

From everything i have heard an read i would not run the LS6 springs

Run the 918's. they are perfect for those grinds.

I have installed the newer LS6 springs with the T1 cam and it didn't work out. there was ALOT of valvetrain ticking. and valve float. swaped out to 918's = problem solved.

Cool. That's what I wanted to hear, or rather not hear.

Why was your top engine speed before they started floating?
