I'd give Texas Speed or any of the sponsors on here a call. I've talked to 4 or 5 of them and they are all happy to help you and will definitely guide you in the right direction for your needs/goals.
Good luck!

This cam can be used with a PAC 1218 beehive valve spring which could still use the factory retainers to save a little cash. It will need hardened chromoly push rods at the appropriate length, and I'd also recommend a trunion upgrade, Melling HP oil pump and a IWIS timing chain. You'll need gaskets as well to swap the cam and I like to use ARP cam bolts and ARP balancer bolts in my cam packages.
I have several packages that would supply all the required items you will need for the cam package and swap.
I could also knock more lift off the cam so it could be used with LS6 valve springs. I do this a lot for customers that drive their vehicles 10-20k miles a year. Using the lower pressure LS6 spring allows the spring to last longer along with milder ramps on the camshaft also lending to increased spring longevity.
If I can help with anything else please let me know!
