Re: Valve springs, 5.3 ?

Many thanks to all It looks like the truck springs are around 76 #lbs on the seat, & 220 open @ .470 on the lift. I wouldn't think that the yellow or blue spring would hurt too much on the stock cam? They list @ #90 lb seat....around 265 open @ .525-.550 on the lift? Maybe just give the edge on a couple hundred more revs? Any thoughts on the stock retainers/keepers, as well as the pushrods(57-5800 rpm line)? Longhorn
