Are LS6 springs more durable than Comp 26918's? After doing many searches, what I seem to have found is that for a cam with moderate lift (around 0.530") the LS6 springs are sufficient. I also understand that with lifts above 0.550" aftermarket springs are needed.
My question: If I am using a moderate lift cam, am I better off with the Z06 springs. My MAIN concern is durability, not the fact that the LS6 springs are cheaper. I just don't want to have a failure!
Note: Car is used for road racing lapping days and sees two hours of constant 3000-6000 rpm per event (20-30 min sessions).
