Installing this cam in my car, will it work?
I found this cam on ebay and it is in my price range and would like to buy it. (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevy-350-5-...ht_1987wt_1270)
It would be going in a 89 Camaro MAF TPI 305 LB9 engine. My heads have only 60,000 miles on them, would I need new valve springs? Let me know guys

Yes that cam will work with your stock springs, but I would replace them.

Re: Installing this cam in my car, will it work?
the cam you want to buy for $180
207 /214 .410 /.427 117
has less lift than the stock 88/89 305 cam in your engine at present
207/213 .415/ .430 117
Just buy a take out LT1 cam ( with more lift than either of the above cams ) and don't pay more than $50
