That is not a good cam to go with on the 4.8 N/A
With that much lift and that much exhaust duration it is like pissin in the wind honestly
a TSP 220 cam would be a good one and many other grinds also

And no, you will need the ls6 springs to compliment the ls6 cam. You MUST change springs with any cam change. period.

The spring change is necessary as the factory 4.8 springs are only rated to just under .500 lift IIRC
