So I broke a valve spring on my H&C LS motor. The springs were Comp Cams Single Coil 120lbs. My cam is moderate: .566 lift 114LSA 224/224. I happen to have a full set of C5ZO6 springs, which are beehive type and run about 100lbs apparently, but Shaolin Crane has a hookup on replacement springs for a very low price . . but it's still more than $0. The engine is not a screamer, stock redline at 6,500. Would I notice a bit of difference stepping down to the C5ZO6 beehive springs, or should I keep essentially the same kind of springs I have.
