Default Help! Advice on HC setup for Vette

Hey everyone,
Have some questions and need advice on the setup I'm working on. Looking to get good midpower range and around 400rwhp. Can I use the stock ls6 springs from the 243 heads with the larger camshaft without any problems? Also with the heads are sodium filled lightweight valves. What makes these valves so good? Any suggestions/advice will be appreciated:

LS6 Oil Pump, LS6 Heads, LS6 intake, LS2 Timing Chain, Ported TB, Supermaxx longtube headers, Y1 camshaft 234/240 .598/.608 113, Springs/Retainers/Rods, MSD wires, Underdrive Pulley, MSD Wires, and a good tune.

Car is not a daily driver and want to sqeeze a lot of power out of it but only have a typical college kids budget of about $6,000+.

With that cam, you'll need one of these sets Crane duals/PRC duals/Patriot duals of valve springs. As the ZO6 valve springs won't last long at all. The valves are light weight, that was the whole purpose in the use of them.
