Installing cam in stock 460

Hey guys I wanted to use this cam with my stock 460 in my 1992 f250. Here's the specs:

Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 256/262
Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 213/219
Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .535/.540
LSA/ICL: 112/108
Valve Lash (Int/Exh): Hyd/Hyd
RPM Range: 1000-5500

But I dont want to upgrade valve springs, and upgrade the entire valve train. Would this cam work okay with the stock valve train parts? If not thats okay I'll find something else to do to get more power.

i believe its anything over .480 or .500 you need new springs, not to mention your old ones are most likely weak anyways
