The edelbrock 2215 cam will work great for you, but the 2216 would be better for power. Only issue I see is the converter may not be big enough or the 2216, but hell, give it a try and let us know. May work perfect. I think a 3500 would be minimum, but you are not far below that.

The LS6 springs are perfect. I am however going to give edelbrock a call and see why they only want you to use a stock spring.
