Default Getting a new cam. What springs do I need????????

Like the title says, I'm getting a new cam for my Camaro. Right now I have the cc501 218/224 with LS6 springs locks and retainers.

The new cam specs are as follows

int exh
ADV Dur 281 293
DUR@ .30: 230 242
Vavle Lift: .510 .540

Lobe Spec: 114.0

Will I need stronger springs or will the LS6 one's hold up? Also will I need to upgrade my Injectors?

Thanks,
Steven

Ask your cam manufacturer for recommended valve springs. If it's just a cam swap, stock 24# are plenty.

Thank bro. I bought the cam from a friend of mine. I pick it up tonight. I'm just planning on a cam swap and a new timing set.
