Valve Springs
Does anyone recommend changing the stock l92 springs for the yellow ls6 springs? Will i notice more power or what diferences could i look for? I've heard that the ls6 springs are good but i dont know if it's worth changing them. What do you think?
My engine is: Stock lq9 block and piston and stock l92 cam and heads.

I wouldn't do switch them out for ls6 springs. If you are going through the trouble of swapping springs I would go for some aftermarket springs. They both require the same work so it doesn't make sense to swiitch to just ls6 springs. That being said l92 springs have a make lift of .530 and ls6 springs I believe iirc have a max lift of .570ish.

For now i have l92 heads on my stock lq9 block and also an l92 intake manifold and cold air intake. What would be a cheap way to get some more power??? Keep in mind that i want to keep it streetable.
