which valve springs for high rev/boost

Gents,

I'm currently building a 2.2 stroker motor, and should have everything back from the machine shop next week. Looking to see what valve springs I should order. I've been looking at MAP beehives with ti retainers, kiggly springs (both sets), supertech, and the GSC springs (not sure which ones though).

My block was re-decked and I'm going to probably have my head redecked as well.

-4g63 block, 94mm eagle crank, Manley tt rods, Manley 2.1l 10.5:1 pistons, stock head with regular sized valves, S3 cams with I believe 11.7mm lift, stock mls headgasket.

Which springs will work? What do I look at specifically when seeing if a specific spring will work with my cams/setup?

Thanks
Josh

Things you need to take into account are are how high rpms are you going to run and what boost level.
Make sure the lift is high enough to accommodate the lift of your cams with out retainer to seal contact. This can vary depending on headwork.

I have GSC5041 and they work fine for me. There are 2 different kingly Springs so you need to make sure you pick the set that will work for you.
