Sorry for stating obvious.

not true..
OP: Ls6 springs are good for the majority of mild cams as long as lift doesn't exceed .600 If it does you may have and issue with the springs binding and possibly breaking. Don't worry, higher rate springs will only cause problems if not mated with the correct cam or not installed correctly with the correct length pushrods. Check out texas speed's webpage. They have a cam package called the torquer v.2 and it comes with springs for the cam and hardened pushrods. My experience with this cam is that it makes great lowend-to mid range torque and doesn't sacrifice drive ability or top end power. My zo6 has 246/256 cam @ .650 lift 112lsa. I went with a .675 lift spring due to the fact that the cam is so aggressive and the spring is rated for .650 lift and my cam is a .650 lift cam. Never hurts to have a little more spring. I can run it hard to red line and do 200+ with no issues.
