Whats the max amount of valve lift on an LS1 valve spring ?
I dunno if it makes a difference on the year but lets say
2001-2002 . Thanks in advance

 

You "can" run the GM Hot-Cam with stock springs (they're ~.525" lift) but if you're going anything over stock (around ~.497" lift for '98-'00, ~.478" for '01-'02) then it's recommended to upgrade springs AND pushrods. The LS6 motor has heavier springs than the LS1, and the LS6 cam has ~.550" lift.

Ask around, I don't think anybody swaps cams without upgrading springs .

 

another thing you should consider when buying springs is not just your max lift of the cam, but how long will you be holding the valves open, that what really kills them.

For a mild street cam you cant go wrong with the patriot gold kit at speedinc.com for 250 shipped. good to .650" and titanium accessories.

 

Check the stickey... I think it's in there somewhere.

 

You can either spend a little cash on some better springs or deal with the alternative when the stock springs break and you drop a valve and the piston nails it.

 

Keep in mind i do not have an LS1 car . Im trying to find out the max lift
on them compared to the comp cams beehive kit 26918-16 valve springs.
the beehives are good to about .600 lift so i was wondering on the
stock LS1 "beehive" type .
