Valve springs

Ok so the turbo, intercooler, v band, and two reducers that i need are ordered.

Will running 5-9psi(max max max) on stock valve springs produce any float etc? Any stability issues?

I have zero experiance with pushrod motors on boost.

How many miles are on those stock ones?

Answer is maybe. 9# they "should" hold if they are not tired and staying in the stock rpm range.

If you are on a budget it can't really hurt to try. Plenty of people have done it in the past. 5psi should be fine, above that may be hit or miss.

So i would know they are floating by a sharp drop in power at X rpm correct?

Pretty much. The times I have seen it its like hitting a rev limit. On the dyno it would be a really sharp dive.
