ls6 springs with tr 224 cam
ive got a 00 ta with a tr 224/224 112 cam and was wondering how the newest ls6 springs rated at .580 lift with be with that cam.as far as changing them every so often,im not worried about that. just curious how it would be and how quiet that setup would be.

I run Patriot Gold duals on mine. Wouldn't run anything else except a set of PRC duals from TSP either. The 224r from Thunder has more aggressive lobes & a faster ramp rate. You will not hurt a single thing by running a stiffer spring. And you'll actually have better valve control at higher RPM's.

To answer the original post, those springs will work with that cam if installed at the proper height to produce the open pressures needed. Meaning you might need to shim them.

Really? I was under the impression that its ideal to not run a spring thats almost maxed at the same numbers as the cams lift, especially with the faster ramp rate. I might have just misunderstood.
I also just noticed after lookin at Thunders site that the lift is only .563" on that cam, so he should be alright. I was thinking about the 224r from TSP which is what I have. And I knew the lift was higher than the LS6 is rated at, my bad.

Mike, when deciding on a spring you do not just look at lift capabilities. What you should look at are the closed and open pressures. If those are at or slightly above the cam lobe reqirements, you are good to go.
