    i have a set of yella terra 1.95 rockers coming to me and i have a gen v swap with 3.5 pulley to put on this weekend, sd headers, lucas 42.5lb injectors, 3" maganflow converter, drilled 180* tstat, autolite 104s, ac delco factory wires, zzp pcm tune for the setup.

    i have 2 sets of springs i got form a junkyard looking to get some info on them. one is from a corvette and they have a purple stripe and the other is from a 05 gto and they have an orange stripe. would one of them be beneficial to my setup or should i just buy the blue ls6 springs? any info would b greatly appreciated.

    What color are the springs? Both sets that you already have should be the 90lb ls style valve spring

    It doesn't really matter, both are more than enough.

    You could honestly run L76 springs and be totally fine.

    Cheapest and easiest route are going to be L76 springs. Do a google search and you'll come up with the part number. I tend to stay away from LS6 springs. L76 are easiest to get and cheap, Crow 105's are what I'd be running because I prefer to have more spring pressure than not enough.......also the Crow 105's were nice on my timing chain dampner.

    The crow springs are better. Ive talked to a few people who have had first hand experience with the comp 105s breaking.

    I used 90# springs with those exact rockers. Never had an issue. I know I'm late to the game but just putting this in here for future input for people
