i'm running that cam with the 02+ ls6 springs. Had the cam for about a year now with no problems. not sure how long before you'd have to change them.

^ I think it's safe to say that the ASA+918 combo would last quite a long time between spring swaps. To be on the safe side, after the first 2 or 3 years, pull a spring every year and check it.

I'm using the '02 ls6 springs with the ASA cam. The lift of the cam is less than what the springs were used for from the factory, so it'll go a long time before a spring change is necessary.
