Default What Spring for cam with over .600 lift???

I have a cam that will put me just over .600 lift for my ported and polished TFS LT1 heads and 1.6 rockers. I think it is about .628 but I dont have the card. What springs should I get or should I go back to the 1.5 rockers?

Thanks in advance

Pete

*Edit*

My Cam Specs

236/244 .585/544 @112 1.5
.624/.580 1.6

I already have the 1.6 pro mag roller rockers on a 7/16" stud

Plenty of springs for that cam. My springs are Cranes that came with the Gold Race rockers. I don't have a PN handy though. Crane told me that they were good to .700. I would call Comp and ask about their beehive springs.

I am running comp cams 977 springs with titanium retainers on my setup. They handle a pretty decent amount of lift I was told.

Not a solid roller is it? I think the duel springs are only good for .600" but I could be wrong. I was told to do beehive if you do a high lift cam on a Hydr. roller

Who spec'ed the cam? He should suggest the correct spring, installed height, retainers, pushrods, etc. for the rpm range you plan to run. Call him.

After talking to everyone (Comp Cams, Machinest Trick flow)I am just gonna go with a 1.5 rocker, the cost of 8 pro mag 1.5 rockers plus what I can sell my 1.6's is less then new springs and the Machine work. Thanks to everyone that helped out!!!
