Default Valve Spring Question

Here is the specs on the Valve springs I have currently installed on my engine.

Part Number: 99893-16
Outer Diameter 1.460
Inner Diameter 1 1.075
Inner Diameter 2 0.803
Damper NO
Seat Pressure @ Installed Height 130 lbs @ 1.850
Open Pressure and Height 402 lbs @ 1.150
Coil Bind 1.080
Maximum Net Lift w/.060" Clearance 0.710
Average Spring Rate 391 lbs/in

I currently have the LT4 hotcam installed and want to install a CC306 later on and need to know if my springs are up for the task. I know **** about the valve springs so please bear with me.

Here are the specs on the valve springs suggested for use with the CC306.
CCA-986-16
Brand: Competition Cams
Product Line: Competition Cams Valve Springs
Number of Springs Per Valve: Dual
Outside Diameter of Outer Spring (in): 1.430
Coil Bind Height (in): 1.150
Damper Spring Included: No
Spring Rate (lbs/in): 296
Inside Diameter of Outer Spring (in): 1.070
Inside Diameter of Inner Spring (in): 0.697
Valve Spring Style: Standard
Coated: No

So will my springs work?

same springs here as well, with 847 here as well, only with 1.6 rr's, for a lift of .595" unless Slowmofo is using the same rocker ratio, are you?
