No, don't use stock springs.
I'd at least you some LS6 valve springs, and you will not get any lope from that cam , since it has to much negative overlap (-25* OL).

I'd go with at least this cam: Comp Cams 54-408-11 (206/212 112lsa+2), it going to give you noticeably better power, but it still has to much negative overlap(-15*) to hear any lope.

Yeah should be, that small 202/212 116lsa should have more mid/upper rpm power then the stock cam.
So is this a 5.3 motor?

202/212 is at .05" lift, 254/264 is the advertised duration at .006" lift.

Ramp rate on that cam is 52 which is similar to XE Comp lobes and you'll certainly need springs, I would run PAC or PSI singles.
