I'm looking for the hidden question...with the stock springs title and your vague post what are you asking or are you telling us that you need new springs and then ???ing us? Do you currently have this Corvette as you stated you owned it? How much poop could a poop chuck chuck if a fartpipe could eat poop?

Perhaps he used to own it but is now helping the new owner install a cam in it?

Yes I would definitely install new valve springs with that cam swap and no I would not use stock springs (even brand new ones).

COMP 918's will more than satisfy your needs. Those specs sounds like a GM LSx hot cam. I'm I right?
