Valve spring info?

So I put it in a vice and the bind height was around 1.25oo" - 1.30oo" there was still a little bit between the coils but I was playing it safe. The installed height in a slant head is 1.620" uninstalled is 2.24oo"


The cam (225 slant)....

Duration INT/EXH = 254

Valve lift = .435

Valve lash = .012

They said the lash should be .012 but it runs better (and quieter) at .008

I was getting lifter noise and it would start to float around 3200 rpm so iI put in a set of dual springs off another slant and it quieted it down a little and runs way better now. The floating is pretty much gone up to around 4000 rpm now but I am limited by the 3 speed and 3.55 (OD 4 speed is on the way in).

I want to throw these springs in and see if it quiets down and will run even better or do you think they are too much for the cam?
