Default Valve spring pressure I need advice????

Hey guys I have a 2001 silver WS6 and its my first cam swap. I purchased the cam packed from WS6 store which included my Comp cam 218/224 .527/.534 LSA114 , Brian tolleys .660 springs , and the hardened 7.4 push rods. When I purchased the package I missed read the spring height . Do you think I'll have to much spring seat pressure ?? Should I replace rollers to the 1.8s???

Tooley spring package drops right in at the right height. As long as the heads are stock.
I've installed several sets.

I'm worried more or less about damaging the valves by to much seat pressure..

seat pressure will only fatigue lifters not valves but at any rate it still isnt too bad lots of people runs tooley's stprings on stock valvetrain. You could have easily gone with a psi or pac beehive but tooleys will work fine
