i am new to engine building. i just got my ls1 heads and want to know what springs to get. im on a budget. sdpc has some good springs, but i dont know what to get. i want to raise my rev limiter to take advantage of my cam so i need springs that will allow that. the cam is a 216/220 525 532. so its not too much lift or duration. nothing crazy. will the sdpc pro beehive ls1 valve springs do alright. i dont know what the 318 lb open 130 lb on the seat means

i guess the longer exhaust duration would help build cylinder pressure...
02 Sierra... motorless for now.
02 SS.. stock bottom 4.8, 241's, 224-220/116+4, 918's and pushrods, front mount turbonetics 78mm, HKS GTII, TiAL, eBoost2, Yank PT3600, Performabuilt 60e, solid motor mounts. Tuned by me with HP Pro and LM2/AFX
you should check out the prc dual springs they will last forever they can handle 660 lift so theyll take a beatin, or maybe the compcams beehive springs they are really good springs also.
i went with the yellow ls2 springs

i listened to a clip cowl 327 has, and i think its the same cam. damn, i hope mine sounds exactly like that. but i'll have a loud whine to go along with it.
