with that size cam you shouldn't need anything but a tune (get after market pushrods) and that's about it

ANY aftermarket cam requires new valvesprings. Hands down.
What is the duration on the cam? Seems just a hair bigger than the stocker.2008 Trailblazer SS

Any cam with such low lift isn't worth the swap imo. You don't need to swap the heads for a cam swap.

Thats a pretty dinky cam to swap in. Not worth tearing your motor apart IMO. Whats the other specs on the cam?

I was looking into a cam change for a long time and my goals are to maintain all the drivability and gain some hp which I'm guessing is what your'e trying to accomplish... well I can tell you right now the minimum you want to do for a cam is a TR224... good gains and will drive just fine...
TR224
Valve Springs
Titanium Retainers
Pushrods
if you have the money for
LS6 ported heads.
Edit: TR 224 specs are 224/224 .563/.563 114LSA very street friendly cam
