Default Single spring or Double spring with 600 roller

I know that a double spring is better in control harmonics. However is it need with these ls style motors. I'm putting a good pushrod in the motor. I'm upgrading the retainers also. At what point do I need to go with a double spring.

It realy depends on your camshaft, Ive read great things about the comp cams 918 single beehive spring but I wouldnt push it to far past the .580 lift mark.

it will also depend on how "square" the lobes are, also are you going to be runing boost? Hollow stem valves or what type? If you are having to debate running singles or doubles i would just run doubles for the peace of mind that way you dont have to worry about dropping a valve.
