Default Valve springs for blower motor?

Okay forged 355 LT1 pushing 10-12psi

i have comp single ex 612 springs on the heads now. i don't think they would last,did fine with low boost. I know its cheap insurance to buy the best springs but what are my options on some dual springs i need something for 40lbs sit pressure. i would think i need dual springs as well.

also what about reusing my stock 94 harden pushrods? i'm only using a hotcam.

Thanks

beehive springs and upgrade the stock pushrods,and why would you run the hotcam in a blower motor pushing 10-12psi?You should look into a blower cam

well i got the hotcam new for dirt cheap so i couldn't pass it up. a guy i know is running a T-Trim with 16lbs of boost and has the hotcam kit. you think the beehives will be strong enough? do you have a part number?
