Default New springs from Combination MotorSports, inexpensive, .600+

Just got mine in today here are a couple pics and some pics and some info on them
info:
we now have a valve spring kit with titanium retainers for LS1’s and LS6’s that offers substantial savings and improved performance over other valve springs and retainers currently offered. The springs that come in the kit are part #EX-616 which we’ve been running in some of our own cars for quite a while to make sure they are up our standards. In our Z06, we’re currently shifting at 7200rpm with this valve spring kit and a .591” lift cam and in our 2001 SS we’re running a .615” lift cam shifting at 7100rpm. The springs fit on the stock heads/seats without machining, just install and go!

The EX-616 springs setup at 135lbs at 1.800” installed height, open up to 360lbs at 1.200”, and don’t coil bind until 1.110”. We recommend a cam under .620” lift as that is what we’ve tested to, but the springs can handle a little more. The retainers, part #EX-122, are aircraft quality titanium and offer the ultimate in high-end valve train performance. For a few pictures of the EX-616 springs and EX-122 retainers, check out www.cmotorsports.com/615springpics.html
There is also a new set of springs that set up slightly lighter than the 616's, part #EX-615. They setup at 115lbs @ 1.800", and open up to 320Lbs @ .600" lift, with coil bind at 1.110". These springs are the springs to have for less agressive cams like the low lift Comp Cams offerings.

pics:




From their info these spring can handle some major lift and are easy on the ol' wallet. If you have any questions on them call Seth or Andrew at cmotorsports.com. The link is at the end of my sig.
They also have a great GP on these springs and their cams too,

I have the EX-616/EX-122's on my setup. They are working very well.

Peace

I am going to install a TSP231/237 cam on my car soon. Will these springs hold up?

Thanks
Ever
