Was researching HiTech stage II cams, and they reccomended springs if you plan on running over 6400rpms.... I dont plan on that. Are springs necessary, or just insurance?

I did them with stage 1 cams....good thing to have. But even my springs wont be enough for my next set-up, so it sort of didn't pay off.
