other than the pro mags what rockers are you guys running with these, I had a hot cam spring fail so I figured I'd give these a shot and the 1.6 gm rr won't work, the tip of the rocker outside the roller tip touches the retainer, so now I need a different rocker... The promags sure look good.

I have 1800 miles on these springs with no problems so far. I didn't get the dual spring but went with the singles since my cam is a cc305 copy. I wouldnt have a problem recommending these springs to other people on a budget.

Those Lunati springs show 108 lbs of seat pressure at 1.750". Stock set up ht is 1.780" or so and that spring would have about 100 lbs at that ht. It would be comaprable top a Hot cam spring ons not really a good choice for anythuing other than a Hot Cam ot stock LT1 cam.
You would want something with atleast 130 lbs of seat pressure and preferably 145 lbs or so.

Though I can not 100% say these are the springs in my car, they do look the same, mine have a blue stripe on the inside spring and I think I see that in the pic posted but I am not sure, the car I have has had the sht beat out of it for a while now (6-10k miles, I have put 4k on them and however many miles the previous owner did), I know there is a cam in here and LE2 copy heads, I shift at 6200 in 1st and 2nd and 6000k in 3rd no issues what so ever, well I take that back, I have 1 rocker arm that the nut keeps backing off, and I have to pop the valve cover off ever 1k miles or so..but I do not know if it has anything to do with the springs.
