Default Valve Springs?

Comp Cams - Beehive Spring - 1.055/1.290 O.D. LS1, LS6 engines
Comp Cams Valve Spring Specs
Is it safe to use these springs with the stock cam?

Should be OK, slightly stiffer than the LS6 springs. Might want to re-think push rods though.

I don't see why they wouldn't work.

But, do you think you might do a cam in the future? Doing valvesprings is a PITA, so if youre thinking that you might want to step up to a bigger cam, do a slightly bigger spring. Otherwise, you should be good to go with the 915's.

I think if he sticks with the beehive springs he'll be ok

But if your gonna spend the money why not buy (part#26918-16) for the same price and already have a better spring so when you DO decide to change cams, that is if your planning to keep it under .600 lift

I was asking this question for a friend becuase he is going to take out his Lunati cam and wanted to know if the springs will work with the stock cam with no problems.
Thanks for you help guys.

They will work fine.
BTW you need to resize your sig pic. 500x300 is max (IIRC)
