Default yellow LS6 valve springs

an ls6 cam has about .551 lift, if im not mistaken. what lift are the valve springs good to? is there any other alternatives to 918s assuming the ls6 springs wont work for me?

.570" is correct. I've ran them in setups with a touch more than that, but not a recomended thing. I have them in mine and my wifes Tahoe also.
