Which Valve Springs? When my motor is rebuilt (modest boost application), it will have either an LS1 cam or an LS6 cam. I could replace them with LS6 springs, 018s, or a dual spring. The goal here is durability and safety. My thinking is that Stock springs might even be more durable than 918s, since they were designed to last a long time before replacement. If the 0918s can provide the same durability with better performance I would go that way. However, I am something of a worrier, and I would feel like a real dumbass if a beehive spring broke and screwed up my new engine. I think the duals are probably overkill on stock cams for anything other than freak failures, and I am also concerned that they might not last as long or may wear the cam prematurely. What do you guys think?
