Default 918 springs with stock cam.

OK, I plan on doing my Torque converter, cam, valvespring swap, etc. soon. However, per the shop I'm doing it at, I'm limited on my time per day. This Saturday and Sunday I plan to install my Torque converter and put my 918 springs on, and leave another day for the cam, so I can take my time and assure 110% everything is correct. It's fine to drive my 918s with my stock cam right? I know about heat cycling and what not. I'm asking because I don't know if springs "set-up". Meaning after some driving @ X lift they become accustomed to it, so when a bigger cam comes in, it could hurt the springs. Just thinking aloud, can't be too carefule that's why I'm asking. BTW I'll be driving 918 springs and stock cam no more than 20 miles.
Thanks,
Philip S.

No worries,
and the springs do not care what cam is in there, they do not get personaly attached to them.

I run 918s on my stock cam - no worries. Springs don't require heat cycling either - todays new materials dont need it. But if you're old school...
