Default ls6 cam in my 4.8

Hey Guys, I Am Wanting To Install An Ls6 Cam Into My Stock 4.8. I Was Wondering If The Valve Springs,pushrods,rockers Need To Be Changed. If Some Or All Of These Need Changing What Do I Want To Get(push Rod Length,rocker Ratio, Valve Springs)? If The Springs Need Changing, Will Gm Z06 Yellow Springs Work? Thanks Tim

Yellow springs, get some hardened P R, good to go. No need to do rockers or lifters...
