that cam used the ls6 spring so long as you didn't go over the stock ls6 redline.

if you're going to beat it like a rented mule i would probably use the pac nitrided springs. would seem to be a better fit for sustained high rpm use

you'll have the sound with that much duration and a 110lsa that cam will rip hard in the midrange and top end

new ls6 spring kit is $65 and you can use your existing locks and retainers

if you want a little lope that should give it to you

the general rule with cams is to run whatever spring the manufacturer of that cam calls for

that's one of those life long things to remember that spans every car on the road
