Default LT1 valve spring options

Just wondering what some are using are using with the Hot Cam and similar grinds. Looking for something that doesn't require machining. I've been using the LT4 springs but feel they're borderline at best and that I really need an upgrade with the latest HP improvements. Using the 1.6s of course, so lift is at .525. All specs that can be provided would be helpful too in helping me decide. Thanks.

Ones I've already looked at and am considering (which I should have stated before) CC beehives 26918 130-313#
Crane 10308-1 kit 120-312# @1.875 or
165-426# @ 1.75

Do a web search on beehive springs. They are good for .600 lift, less weight, better harmonics, higher rev, ect. Comp cams makes them, try thier website.
