Get yourself one of these and you will never have any problems changing valve springs..it is money well spent....I've been using one for the last four years.

Default cam sugestions

mileage is irrelatvant if motor is maintained.

I took 2 years to decide which cam is right for me it's mild and the car is extremely fast and drivable.

trick is to match all the other parts to the duration of cam.

my suggestion is to meet in person LS1 folks and disscuss you're expectations

LS1 folks are usalley cool talk and go for rides some will even let you drive there cars.

BTW stock cams are a joke.
