Default stock cams on upgraded valvesprings... help please

my LSvtec setup is just about to be finished.

i have a gsr head w/ skunk valvesprings retainers and valvetrain, i ran out of money lol and couldnt afford the new cams. so as of now i have stock gsr cams---

do you think the new valvesprings are to stiff for the stock cams? will it create wear on the stock cams? it wont be for long, ill get the cams within a few months. would it be okay? any help is appreciated thanks in advance fellas

I'd like to know the answer to that as well. I'd like to rev my gsr cams to 8.5- 9k to get the max out of my turbo.

i dont plan on reving higher then 7200- to rev higher then the stock redline when u still have a stock ls bottom end is retarded, im just wondering if the stiffness of the upgraded springs and such will create wear on the cams

i think up graded valve springs r always gude, cuz u ain't gots 2 worry bout floating valves. as u prolly already know floating valve can most likely cost u u'r motor. n e ways i'm running stock cams with valve train bout 2 yrs n haven't had n e prolblems.
