Valve spring question: need help

Ok, I am having my heads ported and rebuilt. I am going with ferrea 2.05 1.60 valves. I am going to go with a custom cam similar to the 847. Does anyone have any recommendations? What factors go into picking out the right set of springs for a given application?

The person specing the custom cam should know all the specifics of head flow, engine size, rpm range, driveline, gears and your desires for the combination. He should also spec the springs and other valvetrain bits you'll need. If you are getting the custom cam from the head porter (like Lloyd Elliott), he'll spec the springs, etc.

If you aren't going that route, you might give it serious consideration.

I really do want to go with the LE3 setup, but I'm not sure if I will be able afford it and purchase lifters, injectors, gaskets, tune and labor for the install. I realize thats a great price for a proven set up, I am just on a fixed budget.

You don't need lifter's.The stock ones will take you past where you wan't to go.
