496 HO valve springs

Getting a couple of 496 HOs ready to install, while on the stands I'm a thinking of replacing the valve springs, any recommendations on springs or just leave them alone? Thanks

PAC seem to be the best. They live where others have failed.

How many hours on the springs? If you have the capability, remove a couple and test pressure. Shim them up to .080-.060" before coilbind if wanting to increase spring pressure.
