Ls6 springs with this cam?
Lunati 218/221 .516/.534 114 LSA
I know the lift and duration is not a problem but i am worried about the ramp rate. Also how long would the ls6 springs last with the ls6 cam?
I dont really need anyone telling me that i need to get a bigger cam unless you know of one that drives or idles close to stock and will not eat valvesprings and will pass CA. emissions.Last edited by 180ls1; 07-13-2008 at 04:02 PM.

Emissions eh?
Do you have your mind set on that cam? Or are you getting a great deal on it?
If neither ring true...Thunder has their 224/224 on a 114 that will pass emissions.
LS6 springs will last forever on the LS6 cam.
Not sure about the lobes on that Lunati grind. I would go with PAC beehives at minimum...just to be safe.

well i found a good deal on one and i have done lots of research on the tr224 and other 224's like the stealth 2 and all those, but i really want something small that wont chew up valvesprings. I will probably put 40k+ miles on my car the next two years and i dont want to replace the springs even though the partiot golds should be good for about 40k on a smaller cam as long as i dont abuse it. Maybe i should call them tomorrow and see about the ramp rate.

If you are worried about spring life, I would personally go with:
1st choice - PSI 1511ML
2nd choice: PAC 1518
Both of the springs have surface treatments to extend service life and will easily handle that cam, both are also a beehive design.

I would recommend a decent set of beehives - more for reliability and valve float prevention than anything else. PAC springs are good.
