LS7 springs question
According to an article in Hot Rod last month they used the stock LS7 spring with titanium retainers for the LS7 Stage III hot cam with .630 lift. I was wondering the same but would be worried about possible coil bind.

1.959 in installed height - ls7 Installed height
1.805 in installed height - ls6 installed height
assuming .630 lift was the biggest safe lift without coil bind:
1.329 in for max lift
1.805 - 1.329 = .476 travel
Unless someone knows the actual coil bind, I would be wary of putting this in my motor.

That is correct, the coil bind will be lower, so the max lift will then suffer
