Need an LS6 spring pressure spec
What does a Yellow LS6 spring produce at 1.780" and what is it's coil bind? Has anyone done this firsthand, because I have seen varying information all over the net.

I just checked a set last Wednesday, and wrote down all the pressure. I can't find it though. I do remember that I could have shimmed them .030" with a .560" lift cam and still had .050" to coil bind, but spring pressure only went up a little bit.
I'd recommend just installing them dropped in. If they don't provide enough pressure like that, upgrade to a better spring.
The only went up like 6lbs on the seat or something really low... Sorry I don't have it, and yes these were the yellow springs.
What are you trying to use them for?

I am trying to use them on a set of fastburn heads for a crate motor, see If i can lighten up the valvetrain a tad and at least keep the same seat pressure with it's hyd. roller. Thanks for the bits of info, and let me know if you find the paper!
