Max of .550. You would need Comp 918's or 921's for that cam.

Get the 918's. Better spring for that cam.

Is this the GT3?? Maybe that would be a little better for me especially in a 6.0.

Those Patriot's are expensive, but they are suppose to be the best out. They are dual springs so they are rated up pretty high. I think you would have to have some head work done to get those on though, not sure about that though.

For that cam, I would go 918's. The LS6 spring would be a little light for that.

LPE sells that cam with LS6 springs. They said they haven't had any problems with those springs running that cam. I asked before I bought because I was worried about the lift. So with that, I'll run the springs that are coming with the cam.

That's an excellent observation - why would Lingenfelter sell this combo if it didn't work?

No doubt about that......I am not sure of the $$ diff between the two, I went with the 918's.....Just because I guess.
