i know this is gonna kill most of you guys, thats why im posting it lol
im gonna use the STOCK vortec springs with the LT1 cam, after talking to the po he told me the heads were rebuilt with new springs and seals about 30k ago(also a "better cam" was used), when i inspected them, they look brand new, the seals too, and since this was in a suburban, i highly doubt it saw alot of the upper rpms for an extended periodthe timing chain looked new too. so last night i saw in the scoggin dickey catalog that the stock L31 heads are good to .450" lift, i called scoggin dickey and said "can i use an LT1 cam with the stock l31 springs, he said "youll be fine. the LT1 cam is only .459 lift and the springs are good to .460, itll probably see a few more rpm with better springs and be safer in the long run but if your only gonna use them for a little while you should be fine"
so lets see how cheap i can go 13s on a basically junk motor !
