That cam looks like garbage
Youre gonna need a good dual spring

LS6 springs aren't near good enough for that cam. I would get a dual spring rated to 650 or so.

No need in that much lift for stock heads, something in the 580 range would be fine.

Pretty sure George means fitment issues, which there are plenty. I would suggest looking at Trick Performance or KBRacing (both sponsors here) for a turbo kit. They are a little more expensive than on3 but with turbo stuff you get what you pay for.
