Retainers? Will stockers work with these? Dont think I need teh TI ones...

im not familiar with all those spring pressures regarding z06 and c5 beehives. but the LT4 springs were desgned stronger for the higher redline. Id get replacement springs for the lt1 or a beehive if available in that pressure. If not id reccomend lt4s but not stronger. any extra spring pressure is just going to eat hp.
I did 1.6rrs on my 93 like 6 years ago with new lt1 springs, new pushrods, crane ignition. plugs/wires and march pulleys.. and it was a HUGE difference
my mph went from 106 - 110 probably not only because if the increased hp but because it would pull so cleanly to redline.

1.6 RR's
Don't mean to buck the wisdom of the guys that advocate changing the springs, but I've gotten along just fine with the stock springs after adding Crane Gold 1.6 RR's on a basically stock '95 LT1 coupe. Maybe I'm living on borrowed time? Usually shift at 5500, but it runs to 6000 with no problems. I've accumulated probably 5000 miles with quite a few full throttle runs since the change without a glitch. One of the better bang for the buck mods out there.

Cam timing/overlap determines the rpm range where power is made. Lift determines how much power.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it....
