Need springs to match this cam

Cam 224/236 116LSA XE 3192 3196 lobes this is the cam i will be putting in my FI 355..

Right now i am looking at a set of AFR210 raceready 70%cnc

What spring will work on these heads I will have a 1.6rr on the int/ex..I have been told this cam will peak in the 6200rpm range, I would like to have spring to live at 6500rpm

thx

Are you planning to use great (read that as "stiff and fairly expensive") lifters, rocker arms and pushrods? If so, there are some Comp beehives which might be just the ticket, especially with Ti retainers. Everything needs to work together, as you know. Springs might be the last item to specify.

Yeah, those are very aggressive lobes and a lot of lift, especially for a daily driver. With the amount of spring it's going to take to control steel (not Ti) valves, beehives are probably out. You should ask Comp for a spring recommendation.

IMO, this really isn't a daily driver type of valvetrain.

Good luck...I think you are going to need it.
