valve springs

[383ls6]

just a quick question will stock ls6 valve springs stand up to a mild .556/.556 lift and last for tens of thousands of miles?I have the blue ones.

I wouldn't test them. A 918 beehive is a cheap upgrade for such an important part.

if i were u i would go with the better valve springs as the ls6 beehive springs become very unstable at high rpms when the comp cams valve springs are made out of a stronger metal and will hold up way way way way better in the long run so u dont have to pull the headsoff and replace the valvesprings or even a whole top ends just because you were redlining it at he track for 12 seconds. Saftey first that even goes with your car Happy modding and happy t-day,

I like a PAC 1218 over a Comp 1518. Seen too many break though Comp claims to have fixed the problem.

wow thanks for all the input. I'm a little scared of the comp springs as a good friend of mine broke a spring and dropped a valve at 6500 rpm and destroyed the engine. There are so many options and this is my first gen III. Lots of gen I though and i can't believe how different they are.

[Hi-Po]

Yes they are very different

There was a bad batch years ago. By now the problem has been found, and corrected. Either way, there are many choices.

There was more than one bad batch. PAC is the shit for a beehive spring IMO....
