Would anyone recommend or advise against using the yellow stripe ls6 springs on a cam with these specs:
Basic RPM Range : 1,500-6,500 RPM
Intake Duration @ .050" Lift : 230
Exhaust Duration @ .050" Lift : 237
Advertised Intake Duration : 314
Advertised Exhaust Duration : 322
Intake Valve Lift : 0.540"
Exhaust Valve Lift : 0.540"
Lobe Separation: 110 Degrees

One of my friends has had a cam almost identical for the last 3 or 4 years. It sounds nasty, much bigger than the specs. His cam is a Lunati grind and its 230/237 .544/.544 114. His car ran 7.39 @ 93.5 mph in the 1/8th last year. His last 1/4 mile run was in 2004 on his old tune which wasnt that great and it was 11.75 @117.6 mph. That should be a nice street cam and should sound awesome.
I believe he is running Comp 918's with that cam.

edelbrock cam
I saw this cam tested in a magazine in which they started with an LS1 dyno mule. They valves floated with the LS1 springs so they switched to the LS6 and experienced no problems. They did suggest upgrading pushrods though. If I remember correctly this combo with a carb and headers made a little over 500HP on the engine dyno. I saw this cam new for $275. Has anybody used it? I would like to hear any reports.
