I remember seeing the specs for the Cadillac cam somewhere, its a small duration, high lift cam. No idea on the lobe design.
You will likely need a spring good to .600" lift. Might as well get some quality springs. You're valve train is an area you don't want to skimp on.

Hot Cam springs will not work with either cam.
The least expensive spring I would use with the LE Sleeper cam would be a set of the Bullet VS 574 spring ($60 shipped). These have 130 lbs of seat pressure and 340 lbs open when set up at 1.750".
A better spring will be the Bullet VS 2700 Alpha Wire spring ($110 shipped). These have 145 lbs of seat pressure and 370 lbs of open pressure @ 1.750".
You will need to check with Larry at Speed Inc about what seat/open pressure you need with his cam but these springs might also work.
Both will work with stock retainers, locks and locators.

Just curious, do these springs use stock seats, retainers, and locks?
