so confused about what valve springs i need. its a 224/228 .566/.570 lift cam 114 + 2 LSA not sure who made the cam i just had the specs pulled off the end when i did the clutch. Based on the spec im going to use 1.8 rocker arms (.535/.538 with 1.7)spinning the motor 5,500 RPM max planned on sticking with single beehives, just not sure brand or pressures to use any idea?

You could run either the PAC 1218 or 1518 depending on which you wanted. The PAC 1218 are rated to .600" lift and the 1518s are rated to .650". Since your cam is under .600" you could run the 1218s if you wanted, or the 1518s for some extra piece of mind. Both sets can be run with the stock hardware.
