What are the stock numbers for these comp springs? I know that the LS6 springs are supposed to be 90# @ installed height of 1.77 or something to that nature. I'd like to stay with that or no more than 105#. I'm going to be installing these on my GTP with a new cam...and it's been recommended not to exceed 105# seat pressure. Thanks.

Unfortunately, these springs will not work for me. Notice the Installed pressure is 130# @ 1.800", the installed pressure would be more than that on my car considering the installed height of 1.77 or so. Too much pressure. Thanks for the offer and quick response though, I appreciate it!

Way more than I'm looking to spend! Sorry, but just being honest!

I'll check them out on there site and do some asking around, but keep in mind...these won't be going on an LS1. They are going into an L67. I will definitely be getting back with you if these will work though, as that is everything I need and for a good price. Thanks.

what are the stock specs on the LS1 springs. I wanted to make sure. The LS6 are 90# seat pressure...so are the LS1 springs less?

Well I've got a set of valvesprings, seats, locks, and retainers that came off my car when I did a cam swap last month.

Swapped a Comp 216/220 for a 231/237. The previous owner put the 216/220 cam in, so I don't know what kind of springs they actually are, or the specs on them. But they could be what you are looking for...or they could not.

I'd let the whole set go for $40 shipped. So if it's not what you need, it won't even cost you much...and you could re-sell them.

I've got pics of the set if you want.

Thanks
