Question Any info on rev racing parts????????

Ok, I have titanium retainers and dual valve springs from REV RACING. I am rebuilding my engine and had those laying around. I just got my hands on 243 heads with the yellows springs. What should I do? Keep my yellow springs or swap them for the REV racing dual springs and titanium retainers. I am looking to swap my cam for an LS6 cam. Any info would be great I tried googleing them and came up with nothing.

If you are going to run an LS6 cam just get a set of new yellow beehives from scoggin dickey ($50??). Why put the added stress of dual springs on your valvetrain if its not required? Rev does make some great products though to answer your question.

I think my heads came with those springs. I can get you pictures if that would help. I might have to sell the dual springs and titanium retainers.

Another question, can I use my stock rocker arms, pushrods, and lifters on this dual valve springs or is that to much stress? I have an 01 engine with new lifters only.

Stock rocker amrs are great, light weight peices that hold up well. If you have newer lifters they will be fine too (stock ls7 lifters). I would upgrade pushrods to some 5/16 hardened rods, as they are the weak link in the stock valvetrain setup.
