Default Dynoed LE1 today with alittle problem

I had my car dynoed tuned today here in jersey and I was getting vavle float above 5400 rpm. I have the LE1 heads with the 224/230 comp cam on a 112. The turner said that Lloyd did a nice job on the heads but I need to change my spings. does anybody know what springs I need. I have LE1 heads with bigger valves. The car dynoed 365 @ 5300rpm with 342footpounds. He couldn't rev it higher do to the valve float. I'm very happy with the #'s. I would like to see what it makes when I can rev it to 6200. Lloyd told me the car should go 112/114. I went 107 with a poor tune. Now with a good tune and my springs fixed I should be right were he said. So any advice on springs would be greatly appreciated. Thank
Joe

Cartek did the tuning and I was very happy with there service. Great place to do business with.

May check into the beehive springs alot of the guys have been running on the LT1 now.
Also may check into the ISKY springs, I had those with the 224/230 cam for a while and never had any valve float.
ThunderRacing has those.
