it should be fine. just you will be racking up some extra miles on the springs when you don't need to have them on unless you will be getting a cam fairly soon I would just wait till then.

The stock cam will be real easy on those springs. Just remember that you need to warm the springs up before getting on it. I usually wait atleast 10 minutes before any WOT.

Are the springs previously used? If so beware of mileage with big cams, if not be sure to properly break them in.(2 heat cycles I was told)
