I am not sure what exaclty the stock springs will handle so I am sure someone with more info in that respect will chime in here. If it is the stock cam I am not sure if you need to upgrade springs for 1.6 rockers but if you do I had good luck with Comp Cams 26918 beehive springs and Comp Ultra Pro Mag rockers are what I am going to order for the new combo as far as rockers are concerned

I did a "budget" spring upgrade, when I installed my GMPP roller rockers. I installed a set of the GM LT4 springs.

You need new springs because when you put 1.6rr on it increases the lift. Then you run onto coil binding and break a spring. Just upgrade to a better spring such as lt4 and beehive springs. You do gain so hp by going from 1.5 to 1.6. Less friction and more lift.
