Who all is runnin the tr224 112 or 114 with ls6 springs, this is what i was planning to do till i read somewere that 918s were recomended. I know its close to the max lift of the ls6 springs, but i figured i was good. I have seen a couple people runnin it with ls6 springs and just wanted to get the go ahead on it from someone that knew there **** just to be on the safe side.
thanks
Jon

How much does your motor mean to you? Don't skimp on cheap springs as you won't save anything in the long run when a spring lets go and your valves smack the piston and destroy it along with the head. It could also possibly hurt the cylinder liner and require a new shortblock. Spend $150 for a set of 918's and sleep well at night. JMHO

LS6 springs will work if they are shimmed to increase their seat pressure capabilities, but that in turn reduces their lifespan.
918's are the ticket, I would not run duals with that cam of .563 lift (overkill).

Ramp rate affects more than lift on spring life.
