Default Do I need springs and retainers with a Zex cam?

I'm gonna get the Zex/Comp cam #59300 for my mini-me. This is the street/strip performance cam. Do I need to upgrade my springs and retainers?
here's the cam:

Will this cam work well with my t25 turbo that i'm going to install?

it doesn't give you the specs of that cam on the website. I don't think it's to aggresive, so i think you'll be ok with stock springs and retainers. i would try and get specs tho.

I ended up ordering Comp Cams. I guess comp cams makes zex? Comp sells zex cams on their website that have the exact same specs.
Here are the specs:

yea you'll be fine with stock springs and retainers. The lift on that cam isn't to high plus it says works fine with stock components!

You're looking at the street/strip cam right? If you are then I guess I'll run the stock valve train for now until I can save up for the springs and retainers. thanks!
