I would install springs & retainers. they arent exactly small cams. you risk valve float at higher rpm.

Without looking to be sure im nearly positive gsc specifically states the operating conditions for these cams on stock springs

Yes, you have to do springs and retainers. I don't know why you wouldn't anyway...stock valvesprings are going to float at high power levels regardless of cams...

if your going to do it do it right! replace the valve sping and retainers. saves you trouble down the road. and yes you have to replace them with the s2's with the s1's no you can run the stockers
