Crane 12 cam do I need to change valve springs?

I am have a 03 sxt with a SRT4 turbo set up. I am running amegasquirt. It has stock internals for now. I am thinking about putting in a crane 12 cam. Do I need to put in heavier valve springs as well?

I am open to other cam suggestions as well.

Thanks

Better valve springs would be required, yes. Springs from a mag head would do nicely.

The crane 12 does work well with the srt turbo (that's what I'm using). Or if you can get a hold of a mag cam, that would be another good option. Or better yet, a mag head. A mag head is really going to be the best thing you could possibly do. Just changing the cam on the stock SOHC head won't do much for you because the head itself is so restrictive.
