If you put the Comp Cams 918 Beehive Valve springs and retainers on them you can use any cam you want up to .550" lift.

Re: 5.7 Vortec Springs

Manley 22410-16 springs and 23652-16 +.050" retainers will also fit and allow you to use a camshaft up to .550" lift. I think they're less expensive, but I'm biased.
