Hey all!!! So I decided on the cam Iʻm going to get for my 5.3 Tahoe (214/224 .500/.500 115lsa)... So now I am deciding on which springs to get with them? Do I go with the Beehive or Dual Springs??? Iʻm thinking the dual will give me more strength but I want to know what you all think???

Thanks in advance!!!

 

ls6 valve springs $60

 

With thaf low lift you could getbawayvwithbthe LS6ers for sure, no need for duals at all.

 

I don't agree on Comps choice. If your talking about spending the cash on duals why not go with better lobe profiles?

I have looked back @ your other threads. Are you planning a stall? Gears?

 

I am planning on a 3000 stall and gears later... But I agree on just needing the beehive!!! Just wanted to ask around...

 

my stock springs on my 2012 5.3 are rated to 520 lift. hell id give them to you if your close to kc. only 7000 miles.

 

Being totally honest, I wouldn't spend the money as time involved to do an LS6 cam in a 5.3...

 

I would choose a better cam... just me.

Coming from a cam designer.

What would you suggest???

 

Even though this also is a 214/224 they are not even on the same page, that is just a comparison of the .050 duration. There is much more to a cam lobes and their design...

Here is what I would run:

214/224 .595/.568 112+3

It uses the LXL lobes for the intake and XE High Lift for the exhaust. This will give you excellent power almost like a LSL or XER but much better springs life even with the high lift, not to mention a quiet valvetrain.

You would need to run PAC 1518's

Will perform great without a stall and gears, but when added this setup will really wake up!
