Valve spring specs are based on camshaft profiles, not cylinder head types.

Do you know what kind of camshaft you have and what the specs are?

There are the beehive springs from comp cams , or alex parts sells some springs on ebay good up to .550 lift for a reasonable price , bought these last year and installed them on a set of 906 vortecs but then sold the heads before running them . This guy has been selling them for awhile and has sold over 100 sets so you might wanna check him out.

Maybe the "secret" cam needs "secret" springs, so we can't help you with the secret part numbers.

Get pro advice and buy the best springs you can afford. A critical part that can take a lot of other stuff out with it if it fails.
