Pass or fail?????
Wow. I don't feel I need to say much. 
People gave you opinions and you gave yours in defense. They were trying to tell you that you were slowly pushing the pin out of the grenade.
Your stock cam - 197/207 .467/.479 116
ASA Cup cam - 226/236 .525/.525 110
I wouldn't run stock springs that are defintely past their lifetime wear and tear levels on anything other than a stock cam. This isnt a 95 year old ladies Buick that has "easy" miles on it. Visual inspection will give you no regard to tolerances at the 0.01's level.
Then again, I don't know anything. I have only run stock cams and springs in all my cars and trucks.

I have a 2002 camaro ss with 138,000 miles on it. i just swapped the stock cam for the asa gm cam with .525 lift. when i installed it the stock ls1 valve springs appeared to be in good condition as well as the rods and timing chain and bearings. i want to know how many miles i will be able to go without a spring floating or my engine blowing up. so feel free to post ur comments on what u think will happen..... plz post i need opinions
