The vette ran 11.95 - 12.05 with no valve train issues whatever. Don't listen to all these bench racers - most of them don't know their *** from a hole in the ground.

I plan on running those springs with GMPP's ASA cam. Specs are...:
226/236 /525"/.525" 110 LSA
It definitely has a mean *** idle, and from various owners of the cam, they all say you'll never have to worry about the springs again (assuming you are running the yellow striped LS6 springs). It doesn't necessarily make the largest numbers, but what I really like about the cam is its under the curve power (~350rwtq @ ~3K RPMs!). Check out a thread I made not too long ago about this cam HERE
This is an idle clip of a member on here's car that has this cam: HERE His screen name is jmm98LS1.

it was a installed on a 98 6spd car made 360 rwhp and 362 rwtq. Cars only mods were cat back and a K&n filter. Ran a 12.7 at 114 with 4.10s on nittos. Numbers might seem low but keep in mind car had a stock ls1 intake, lid and exhaust manifolds so no to bad in my book. Since then he has done supporting mods like headers, lid, ls1 intake, ported tb and True duals. hasnt had it dynoed since but the car has gone 11.9 at 116 with m/t's until the 10 bolt blew. Hope this helps.
