Iron gt-40 heads, tfs-1 cam what valve springs?

[bjl95mustang]

I was looking at my heads and i have no idea what springs are on them. What is a good set of springs that I can use my tfs-1 cam with 1.6rr or even maybe 1.7 rr with?

120# springs should be good for that set up. What is the lift of the tfs cam? I think the stock gt-40 springs are 105#. I'm using 120# and my lift is about .580 with no valve float to 6100 rpm.

I'm new to the valve train thing. What are 120# springs?

I had the machine shop install the comp. cams beehive springs that are rated at .550 lift.

Depending on the lift of yor cam, here are some springs commonly used.

Crane kit 44308-1 120# @ 1.94
Ford M-6513-A50 110# @ 1.82
Trick Flow 2500100 110# @ 1.80
CompCams 972-16 124# @ 1.80

According to the info on www.oemfordparts.com (part number <a href="http://www.oemfordparts.com/PartDetail.asp?S=1&PartID=200" target="oem">M-6513-A50</a>), the GT-40 springs are rated at 110#. Just a bit better that 105#, but still short. Would the extra 10# make that much of a difference?

Ok, I got the springs checked today and I have different intake and exhaust springs. On the intake springs at 1.80 i get #130-135, the exhaust are #120-125 and the springs are fully compressed at .700. Sence I have stiffer springs on the intake how would I go about swapping them to the exhaust valves becuase I have more lift on the exhaust side with the tfs-1? How do I determen the install height?
