Question Asa Going In What Springs???

So I made up my mid...
ASA (226/236 0.525"/0.525 110 LSA)

I have a question:
What else should be changed upgrated???
I guess Comp 918's and it's done, but correct me please if I'm wrong.
This is what I already have inside the engine:

Crane Dual Rev Springs
Thunder Racing Chromoly Pushrods
Titaium Retainers
Titanium Stems
Titanium Seats

The springs you have in there should be fine, but with that cam you can get away with as little as LS6 springs.

I was researching a little more so instead of Comp 918's I think Crane Duals
should be the way to go.
I'd still like to get more responses.

Thats the bset part of the ASA cam, no heavy springs needed to beat the crap out of your valve,seats,lifters,etc. Plus heavy springs rob h.p.. I ran the Z06 springs with out a problem, dont mistake overkill with insurance.
