all you need is the springs, everything else can be reused with no problems. I bought mine from the dealer for $45+tax...

ideally with a hydraulic roller cam you want your closed pressure to be 120-200 and your open pressure to be 300-400.

As far as I know, the blue springs are rated at less lift than the yellow ones...

i have a mti t1 cam and it is a lunati grind.
looked at the lunati catalog and couldn't find the info that you asked for but i found the springs that they recommend for the cam.
here are the spring specs:
75818LUN Enhanced LS1 Ovate Beehive Valve Spring .600" Lift
OD 1.290"/1.055"
ID .885"/.650"
Seat Load 130@1.800"
Open Load 318@1.200"
Coil Bind 1.140"
Rate (lbs/in) 313

PAC is neither Patriot or PRC. PRC is Precision Race Components, sort of the manufacturing and machining division of TSP if you will. PAC makes our springs, they are a great company with a great product.

Leo that sure is a lot more pressure then the ls6 will come close to but I have had no problems so far with them. I guess they are still treating you good as well?
