Default Advice?

So in the next few weeks I'm going to be doing a cam/springs swap. Its an 01 SS with all boltons, and I'm in the process of selecting each part. It's my dd and I will be tuning it. That said, I know I want a lower LSA and a maximum duration of 224.

I'm leaning towards a TSP 224 .581/.581.

I'm new to spring changes and the ones I'm looking at are these -->

Since I'm installing them while the engine is still in the car, would using dual springs make it any more difficult than just single springs?
And if anyone things there's a better cam for my use suggest away.

Are you M6 or A4?

What rpm powerband would you desire?

I absolutely love my 224/.581 cam but I also have a LS6 intake, port/polished TB & worked over 5.3 heads too. Only way I'd change my cam would be if I got a EPS custom grind to match the rest of my current combo though. This little 224 has surprised quite a few people.

Single or dual springs has no bearing on installation difficulty...good choice for a daily driver cam, I have a 224/230 with same lift and I have no gripes on dd it...just make sure you pull the radiator and condenser, it will make life easier when doing cam

What do you guys think about swapping rods? Is it necessary for my cam choice and would it be do-able without pulling the motor?

No reason to swap rods.. I would go with what PredZ said above. And up the compression if you can. It will be a whole new animal
