I haven't come across a person yet who will say that you should keep your stock springs with a new cam. I just posted this on a different thread but it might help you out:
I am putting a new cam in a rebuild right now and I found I have found 2 budget friendly options, one from Lunati and one from Trick Flow. Both are Pacaloy beehives (I'm pretty sure they are the same spring) and I can get either for $129. I know there are better springs out there but these are recommended with the 2 cams that I am trying to decide between and I can still reuse my stock retainers.

you will also need a high rpm converter and a good tuner.I would also install comp trunnion bearings if you use the stock rockers.stock push rods and stock springs only work with stock gm cams.consider a gm ASA cam.

I'm with you I have been running a .650 lift cam for 3 years over 25k miles stock everything. Push rods and springs are a scam to inflate the cost of a "cam swap". There is a reason they call it a cam swap!!
