Help with Valve springs

Hi...

I need some new valve springs for my AFR210cc heads.

Cam hyd.roller
0.006 277/289
0.050 227/239

0.200 150/161

Lift with 1.6RR .560/.577
Max rpm 6300
15psi of boost

Any suggestions, have called CC but have no faith in their answers...
Have talked to a couple of guys and they all recommended diffrent springs....

I was thinking CC 26918 or CC 950 or maybe AFR 8017?

the CC 26120 seem to be overkill...........

/N.

Re: Help with Valve springs

What springs are recommended for use with the cam? That's always a good starting point. They usually tell you right on the cam card (which you can dowload off the web from most of the major manufacturers if you know what cam you've got). Then, if you want, you can choose somethign with similar specs in a beehive design if you want to go that route.
