LSK daily drivers, how are your springs doing? Looks like I'll be racking up around 20,000 miles per year with a new job I've accepted. I'm a little worried about valvespring life from spending so much time on the highway. I know I'm not going to be taxing my springs as hard as 20K miles of backroads drag racing / city cruising, but even still just a little cautious. This is with Patriot Extrem springs and the 232/.65x" LSK intake lobe.
How is your LSK cam treating your springs (how many miles)? What springs?
If I undertsand right a design consideration of the newer lobes from Comp was reliability and better spring life. Although the LSk stuff is yielding more lift, I believe it was supposed to offer better longevity over the XFI or XE-R lobes. This right?

I've got about 15k miles on my AFR 8019 springs with LSK lobes. I'm going to pull them off and have them checked (for scientific reasons of course). I will post results. The AFR 8019 springs and Patriot Extreme duals are badass!

lsk lobes, ls7 lifters, patriot dual springs.. for 2 weeks now 
pretty quiet, even compared to stock til it gets REAL hot.
I guess that's not enough to qualify, but it's a summer only car now, and I plan to change them every 2 years.
