LS6 springs w/ stock cam to 6600?? I am planning to rev to 6600 w/ the stock motor/cam, I am going to upgrade springs and pushrods, I was planning 915's, but I was curious if LS6 (the blue ones) would work or if they'd cause me to loose power, I need to go to 6600 to allow me to cross in 4th w/ the 430s in the 12bolt..what do yall think?
thanks

Re: LS6 springs w/ stock cam to 6600?? I have spun the blue 02 LS6 springs to 7,000 rpm without any visible float on the dyno with a 218 cam....yea, I am a brave soul, but I had to know for my own notes if they would hold that size cam and still turn 400RWH+. Be carefull.

Re: LS6 springs w/ stock cam to 6600?? Trevor I already have a strange 12bolt w/ 430s, 33 splines, and the good posi sitting at FAStech waiting for install, my twin disc will be goin in as well, 11s w/ boltons are in the near future...
I just wanted to see if the springs would hold, I may be able to obtain a set and save the money, they just need to be good to 6600 w/ the stock cam and not cause me any power loss..

Re: LS6 springs w/ stock cam to 6600?? Wow, it sounds like you're ready for some nice 11-second passes. <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" /> You need to hurry and get it installed so we can take a trip to RCR w/ the SOM cars. We won't have to worry about getting kicked out either w/ no cage. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

It won't be just boltons if you change the springs. <img src="gr_tounge.gif" border="0">

Re: LS6 springs w/ stock cam to 6600?? Peter - You don't have school on Saturdays, so just plan on it. <img src="gr_tounge.gif" border="0"> I'm thinking either the 19th or 26th of this month. I'd like to have the new converter in by then, but it'll take a miracle for that to happen.

Re: LS6 springs w/ stock cam to 6600?? I looked again and you did say you are going to run a STOCK cam car to 6,600 RPMs?
Why? That's way beyond the power range of the stock cam. Maybe i missed something.

Re: LS6 springs w/ stock cam to 6600?? I didnt read that far--my error.
Anyway, stock cam doesn't make power past 5800. That's too much gear for a stock cam'd car. whatever turns your crank i guess.

Re: LS6 springs w/ stock cam to 6600?? I don't think 4:30s are too much for a stock cammed car. Why do you think that? On a set of nittos, 4:30s might be pushing it. However, on a set of slicks that grow quite a bit on the top end, 4:30s are nearly perfect.

Re: LS6 springs w/ stock cam to 6600?? Stock elimanator racers gear for max rpm and usually this means ET reduction, but at the cost of mph loss. ET wins races and sets records.
