You want to go with one of those 2 cams and not change the springs? I would wait untill you have the money for the springs, you'll also need hardened push rods and a few gaskets. Just sticking the cam in with the stock springs and push rods might cost you more money then you want to spend.

Ya with a stiffer spring you run the risk of bending the stock rod. You can pick up a set of cromemolly one's from comp for $75 (+ - ).
