Default Can crane dual springs be used with stock cam??

Right now i have a trex cam installed with crane dual springs and titainium retainers. now i want to go back to the stock cam but i dont have all the stock springs and retainers and also dont wanna spend time changing the springs again. So will the crane springs have to much spring pressure for the stock cam or do i have to go back to stock springs????

You don't have to change the springs.

Should work just fine. Some people will play the overkill card on you though. But If you don't have the parts....then you don't have the parts. You should be fine.

awsome thanks for quick replys. now will having the smaller cam lift #'s with those springs make them last longer as to checking and maybe changing them at 15-20K miles???

Might depend on how long they were run on the bigger cam. Also, keep your better timing chain in place (whatever it is), don't go back to the LS1 timing chain with the heavier springs.
