Will this work?

Picking up a set of PRC .650 springs... this going to cause any issues being on a stock cam? I do have intentions of camming the car later on down the road...

I am pretty uneducated, but I would think the higher the load capacity the more resistance vs factory load springs

call a shop like TSP, they are pretty cool and can get you the right answer.

Ok, just to make sure I understand correctly. You want to put the springs on now with the stock cam in? If so, just wait until you actually get the camshaft. More educated people will chime in on this but it has been argued alot about whether overkill on springs is detremental or not. All about valvetrain geometrey etc etc. I personally haven't seen anything damagaing using overkill springs.

the reason he is changing the springs is because of how mine broke the spring & caused all the carnage. BPG has seen first hand of what can happen & he is only trying to keep it from happening to his.
