Question Upgraded Lifters Req'd with Patriot Dual Springs?

I seem to remember that cstraub stated at one time that the stock lifters beging to collapse at 160# seat pressure - are upgraded lifters needed with the Patriot Double Springs? Anyone know what the seat pressure of these springs are?

And if lifters are suggested, do I have to use the Comp R's, or are one of the other Comp Lifter models satisfactory?

TIA,
-Jay-

The Patriot Gold springs are 135lbs @ 1.800 and 390lbs @ 1.150.They will run @ .650 valve lift. I have been running these for close to 5,000 miles now on stock lifters and a 59x lift cam without a problem.
