Default Valve Spring Specs?, Stock

Hey,
I have a set of '95 cobra heads (GT-40) on my 94 GT and was wondering what the spring rate on the GT-40 heads was vs Stock. I know the cam had .040" more lift so i assume the springs were adjusted accordingly at the factory. What kind of a cam can i handle on these springs up to 5800 rpm? The spring specs are what i'm looking for, tho.

thanks!
Dave

Default Looks Good!

hey thanks, Fordgazm!
It looks like I will be able to run that cam,it's 300 #/in and at .512" lift it's only 10# down at 268# from the comp cams reccomended, and they only reccomend one spring for the whole lineup, up to 540 lift. I think i'm in the clear.
