Default Valve spring help please
Hey guys I have a 2001 silver WS6 and its my first cam swap. I purchased the cam packed from WS6 store which included my Comp cam 218/224 .527/.534 LSA114 , Brian tolleys .660 springs , and the hardened 7.4 push rods. When I purchased the package I missed read the spring height . Do you think I'll have to much spring seat pressure ?? Should I replace rollers to the 1.8s???



96" Formula -stock with bolt ons - sold

2001 trans am ws6 58k- SLP lid & maf & loudmouth exhaust, Bbk 80mm TB , 160 stat, MSD 8.5mm wires with irradium plugs, BMR 1" rear sway , and tick adjustable clutch master

As stated, keep your stock rockers and the springs you have are what you need.
