Valve Rotator Elimination

Hey all,

i am in Process with my first build. 305 TBI.
I installed a Comp Cam Kit K08-500-8. The Kit included Valve Springs with higher Valve Pressure.
My Questions is, will the Valve Rotators handle the 105lbs Spring Pressure or should i Install Valve Rotator Eliminator Shims.
I am a little afraid not using the Rotators and getting burned Valves. I am also afraid using the Rotators and they will bust.

The Car will be driven, mostly Weekends, but longer Times on Highways.

What do you think?
