Which is the best valve spring for a L83 camshaft?

What kind of torque does a GPI L83 Cam kit have?

Strong to 6800 rpm. Specifically designed to utilize the GPI 4* Phaser Limiter. Designed to work great with a stock torque converter and no milling on the heads, offers stable idle, excellent low end torque, and smooth lobe design for quiet valve train operation and longevity.

1) The L83 Head Gasket is the factory OEM replacement gasket for your L83 engine (.052″ thickness). These are good for most NA head & cam builds that want to maintain stock compression.

Is the camshaft sprocket bolt torque to yield?

The Camshaft Sprocket Bolt is a torque to yield (one-time use) bolt. GM recommends replacing after each use. We recommend upgrading to the Fast Fish Front Timing cover as it incorporates a PTFE (Teflon) low friction lining. This is a premium quality racing seal and substantially lowers drag while maintaining oil control.
