Will pinned studs have any problem with this?

I have a set of 083 heads with studs pinned. Running 213/219 468 /477 112 cam with CC 986 springs. I am worried about the 132lbs and 280lbs open seat pressures. I saw the 981 springs are 105lbs and 285 Open. Will the 27lbs plus differance really matter? Car will see 5500 RPM max. Any suggs? Or will this be ok?

Once the studs are drilled and pinned they will stand up to anything that you can throw at them. The factory studs themselfs are hi quality case hardened steel. They will not pull out.

I have run pinned studs on motors with lots more lift and spring pressure and rpm (7500+) than you'll ever encounter.
