Default Will these springs be sufficient.

Im going to be installing a thunder racing custom grind of 233/239 595/603 on a 112 i was just wondering if the thunder raicng cam swap package would be sufficient. I will be upgrading the valve springs to crane dual valve springs, would they be able to handle the cam. The highest i plan to rev the cam to is 6800. also will a melling pump have sufficient oil flow? and i plan to run a comp cams single timing chain set. i still have to call them but due to work i never get home in time so i figured id ask here. any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated. The car just has the normal bolt- ons slp lid, PS LTs with ory, 4:10 gears lid and egr and air delete and a borla mouth. With a spec stge 3 clutch and spec steel flywheel.

i would use a double roller timing chain. i am not sure about the oil pump, but i think the dual spings will be enough for the cam.

I was going to use a double but i dont feel like getting into shaving my timing cover or screwing around with lining the pump up to the pickup tube and i dont want to buy and slp ported pump bc ther expensive and bc there milled down to fit under a stock cover.
