Default LS6 valve springs ?

I have a a TSP 224 R 114 LSA cam on the way. So excited! Ok. Back to the topic. Can I use them with this cam? I have a blue set on the 243 heads. Have waiting to go on. And a yellow set. What's the lift? The 224 is 581 lift. S can I use one of the spring sets?

Max lift on LS6 springs is .570" (blue or yellow; same spring). I would recommend PAC 1218s (.600") or better. Give us a call if you need help selecting the correct springs.

That's what I thought. I need a pair. But not a super expensive set. They cheaper then 918?

Definitely get a better spring than the LS6 spring for our 224R! The LS6 spring has control issues even with stock cams after some mileage is put on them, so you definitely don't want to try that with the XER lobes on this cam!

We'd recommend the Comp 26918's!

I have the 224R cam in my car with the PAC 1218 springs and I have no complaint with them. Comp 918's will work also any of the LS1tech sponsors will have the springs you need and can get you hooked up.

Yeah I'm going to look at the 918's. See what I can find.
