Default Question about valvesprings.

I have a set of blue LS6 valvesprings. I was wondering if it would be worth it for me to install these. Would they help me in the upper rpms or make the car run smoother. Here is my dyno sheet. I am also planning on picking up injectors pretty soon as well. Although I'm not sure on which ones to get.

Aside from my bolt-ons I have an otherwise stock valvetrain and LS6 intake is coming soon.



I will be getting a cam but thats well after the first of the year. Probably march or so and I will go with the dual springs then.

But thats a good ways away.

Thanx. I'll probably put them in at the same time I do the LS6 intake.

I put off getting the cam until late Feb. or March because well........I'm still just so damn undecided.

There are so many lol.

Are you sure they are LS6 springs? Blues are usually Comp 918's.
