Default Best springs for gt2-3 cam.

Hello everyone,
I'm looking in to purchasing a gt2-3 cam and was wondering what springs would be best used for it. I was planning purchasing the kit below but figured i would ask people more knowledgeable than I.

It's Overkill but it'll work. If memory serves me that cam is in the .58x range of lift so .600 lift springs would be fine. I ran that cam over a decade ago and loved it. Pulled to 6800 and idled and drove like stock. That said, there are cams out now that will drive just as nice with a good tune and make more power.

I am open to any and all cam suggestions. Just have to work with stock heads and manifolds. I only have this limitation due to being poor and rebuilding the engine. Figure I can add a small cam for power.

Any cam will require a tune, need to know the rest of your setup to choose a cam specs. I understand poor hotroding so summit pro LS grind and ls6 springs is what you want to be looking at, they are the best bang for the buck in the business

Right now its completely stock. going to tare it down due to almost all the gaskets leaking oil. The intended plan was CAI, stall and a cam

And I've always hated that on the cam card. Only can in my life where people admit the cam has more lift than the spring is rated to and everyone ignores it.
