What are your seat pressures?

I'm running 165#. Had a pretty big Hydraulic cam in mine, swapping it out to a solid roller now. Hyrdaulic specs are 625/576 lift duration is 236/242. And get this I was running Comp R's and did not have a single one that failed in the past three years. I was expecting to see some broken but I found everyone to be perfectly fine.

Oh and to the OP it might help if you tell us what your valvetrain setup is going to be (cam and lobes, ect.)

Check the Valve Spring Chart in my sig if you want to see a bunch of
common HR springs in use by the LT1 crowd. I'm using the Crane 96872s
at 1.82" closed and 1.27" open.

I still don't see the point in your vague question.
