springs

[69camarokid]

so i have a completely stock 95 trans am LT1.

I have just purchased and will soon be installing a CC-305 cam and some Jeggs 1.6 Self-Aligning roller rockers.

I have heard that when your doing this its a good idea to put in new springs.... Do i need to do that or am i good with my stock springs? If i need new ones what kind do i want and where do i get them?



I had seen these online... would they work? thanks

I would use a comp beehive springs, 918 I think is the #, you wont like that CC305, it's very tame cam

well i wanted a cam that would give me a bit more power, but keep my gas milage and drivability about the same as the car is my daily driver... id love to go all out and make it a power house but i cant afford the crazy gas and having the chance of it breaking down

so i looked into the Crane cams set up from Jegs cause the price is good.

But it didnt say what the max lift on the springs was. When i called and asked they said it was .480

That doesn't make any sense... does it? dont stock springs have .525 max lift?

I need a spring set up that is relatively cheap and can take a minimum of .544/.544 since thats what the cc 305 on 1.6 RR puts out?

any ideas?

You will be lucky to pick up 25-35 hp with that cam. I would good with a 224/230 comp cam, good power, nice big cam sound, with good driveabilty

A CC503 or the 280XR for a Lt1
