Cam swap

Kervin:
I'm running a Schrick 274 with stock valve springs. IIRC it has over 11mm
lift although I have the cam spec sheet at home and can check actual lift if
you need it.
The head was ported and assembled with cam by Colin at TT so using the stock
springs was a knowledgable decision.
Basically, if you don't intend to go over 7000 RPM and the cam doesn't have
over ~11mm lift then there is no point in using the HD springs.
