Yeah i will be getting the springs to match it. The reason i was asking if it was safe to put the cam in is because my car has 90k miles on it, and i am worried that it can cause my engine to blow something...1994 Pontiac Trans Am A4 Pacesetter Ceramic Coated Longtubes,3" ORY,Dual 3" Cutouts,No Cat,!AIR,!EGR,K&N CAI,Flowmaster Exhaust,Mad Z28 Tune,Spohn Subframe Connectors,Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs,KYB Shocks,17x9.5 Chrome ZO6 Rims,5% TintComment

Go talk to a speed shop that does work on GM cars. I talked to an F body shop here and they highly reccomended having the motor checked for wear, completely re doing the heads, and more problems than I was asking for. They basically tld me to leave it unless you built another motor. I was discouraged but glad they explained everything to me.1996 Z-28 6 speed, Airfoil, K&N FIPK, Flowmaster muffler, Motive 3.73 gears, BBK shorty headers, cut-out, LS1 Driveshaft, no power options (Rare), Prothane tranny mount, MSD 8.5mm wires, Accel U-Groove Plugs, Chrome hurst short throw, TB Bypass, ES Torque arm mount, BMR subframe connectors (weld-in), Lt4 Knock Module, Descreened MAF, '02 SS wheels, Pioneer HU, MTX & JL amps, 2 12" JBL's, T-Top Conversion!

The thing i'm worried about is how much longer my engine would last once i put the cam in. It runs strong right now, but from reading around on the internet, alot of lt1's start goin downhill around 120k and up. 90k reallly isnt alot considering mine is a '94. That's only about 7k a year which is nothing. But who knows whats going on internally as far as wear and tear. But, considering the way it runs right now, it should be fine. I'm still kinda for a for sure answer, so will i absolutley be fine putting a cam in???? thanks for the replies

Where have you read this? I've only read LT1's going into the 200k range, with the occasional spun bearing here and there.Originally posted by RICEATER94BirdThe thing i'm worried about is how much longer my engine would last once i put the cam in.

You will be absolutely fine putting the cam in.
My car had about 100k when I put mine in. My cylinders had visible cross hatch, didn't leak anywhere, has excellent oil pressure, 195-210 compression on every cylinder, stock cam looked perfect, lifters were in great shape, etc...
I wouldn't hesitate to put a cam in an LT1 with 94k miles, especially a baby cam like you mentioned.
If you were planning on going 306 or a big custom cam you might want to do some freshening up, but for most moderate cams, I wouldn't worry about mileage.97 Chevy 'Raro Z28 M6- Ported & Polished LT1 heads,beehives,1.6/1.94 valves, 226/231 custom cam,K&N FIPK, 94-95 BBK shorty's,ORY,Magnaflow Catback,no cats,BMR LCA Relocation Brackets,Lower Control Arms,Adjustable Panhard Bar,Eibach Pro Kit,SPEC Stage 1,Walbro 255 Fuel Pump,30LB Injectors,Pro 5.0,Short stick,MSD 8.5's,NGK TR55's,LT4KM
