Default valve springs and pushrods

my stock springs are weak and the valves are floating at high rpm. What are some good replacement springs and rods that are a little stiffer....but not extreme or anything. I'm not upgrading the roller rockers, lifters, cam or anything else. I just need a better than stock replacement for a low price.

02+ LS6 springs or Comp 915's with any hardened p-rod stock length. (I'm partial to Comp cam p-rods)

I agree. You don't want to go too nuts on the springs if you have the stock cam and original timing chain.
