You have to realize that BBC stuff or anything that is 5.5+" long and 2.20"+ in diameter is going to be big and it can be controled with conventional springs.
Your looking at 140-150g valves here anyways, which are heavy.
BTW the whole lobe shape matters not just the "ramp rate" when people mention that it makes me wonder if they understand what's going on in the valvetrain at all.
