Are you getting worried at all about spring pressure with those more aggressive lobes? What kind of lift does that cam have?

He will be fine with the Ls6 springs, F body guys run that cam with the yellow springs with good results.

Sorry, just read the whole title, lift @ .567/.567.. I by no means know a lot as I'm still learning, but I think other people will agree with me that you may want to look upgrading springs, I think you're ok with the lift because the LS6 springs are good to .570 iirc... I guess I just like to have a little bit more room for error. Plus with upgraded springs you wouldn't have to worry near as much about valve float, if at all.
