Jay would also set the 60919 up with 120 lb seat pressure, lower 300s spring rate. With a note that at a very high peak rpm level there could be the potential of some valve float. I highly suspect at a rpm higher than anticipated here, that and it would depend on the valvetrain mass involved.

And as noted a valve spring will lose pressure with run in and use.
