you should be ok - as long as you keep the stock redline - I myself would spend the $$$ and get new OEM ITR intake valvesprings (inner and outer) and switch your current GSR intakes to the exhaust side (because GSR intakes are the same as ITR exhaust springs) - BTW mike at IPS was selling new ITR intake springs for around 85.00 - that was a special tho - good luck

how much more installation time is it to replace valve springs while replacing cams?

200+ dollars cause you have to pull off the head while camshafts only require you to pull off the valve cover

you can use compressed air in the cylinders to keep the valves from falling in
