I personally think a lot of people get pulled into the high spring pressure is a must and over spring.

I run a Manley Nextek 221424-16 250 @ 2.00 / 800 @ 1.150 647 spring rate.

2.300 stainless intake valve Ti retainers and .4375 x .165 wall pushrod.

7200 rpm shift point and has seen 8100 several times with zero sign of valve float.

6 years and checked several springs the other day and all were with in 15 lbs of original seat pressure of 165 lb.

On the O.P.'s engine combo, I would be around 220/600 with the 600 being .060 at max lift.
