Yes, you'll be fine with the stock locks and retainers, that's how they come from the factory, and that's how I'm running mine Zippy runs the yellow LS6 springs with that exact cam (222/224 .566/.568 112) in his 5.3 and has been for quite a while without any problems, so you should be good to go there too.

thanks bud, agreed. i just had no clue what those cam specs were. tsp said i could use stock locks and retainers with my cam which has more lift. i just decided to replace them anyways.
