The ramp speed of the lobes has to be factored in when chosing LS6 springs also. As mentioned, Lingenfelter uses them with cams close to .580 lift, but I believe those cams have "lazy" lobes. On cams with agressive ramps (like Comp XER lobes and Thunder Racing Cams), you want that extra seat pressure to keep the lifters from jumping off the lobe as it spins...so I have read both here and at LS1Tech.
