anyone ever had any problems with their 918 springs? the reason i ask is b/c it gets very cold here in minnesota and ive heard that these springs are very succeptable to breaking when cold. my cam should be in next week. the lift is .551. should i go with ls6 springs? or maybe some dual valve springs?

 

which cam are you going with? I heard some problems with the older springs, but I think it's been resolved.

 

just be super easy on them until your truck gets up to operating speed. I never let my truck go above 2000rpms until operating temperature.

 

living around here during winter, id burn 1/4 tank a day waiting for my truck to get to operating range. so can ls6 springs handle a tr220/112?

 

That's hard to do if you have a stall, but I agree don't go WOT until it has warmed up.

 

ls6 you will be fine, think about all the guys with corvettes that give theyre car hell when its cold, no Full throttle toll operating temp is a good idea though

 

I asked the same question a while back (both here and at LS1Tech if I remember correctly), and the feedback that I got was that the agressive ramps of the TR lobes require more seat pressure than the LS6 springs have. Not sure if it's true or not, and I'm sure it depends on how you plan to drive the truck and how much you're going to wind it up.

 

Unfortunately I wouldn't know

Maybe this summer when I get a job.

 

maybe i need some dual valve springs?

 

hot or cold i always let my truck warm up for 5 min to make sure there's some heat on the 918's.
