Stock springs are pretty much good for stock cams. But Ive have known people to run a cc305 on stock springs with stock 1.5 rocker arms.

NAL-24502592 is the part number on Summit.

He is looking for a carbed intake so pretty much no chance he will be doing it right.

If you want a carbed smallblock go gen 1, all you will accomplish by carbing an LT1 is severely limiting your head and intake choices to no real benifit. The injection is a big part of what makes the LT1 what it is.
