Since it sounds like you have already run these heads I would say you need the new springs and heres why.
To use the springs the heads where shipped with I would want you to add a .030 shim to make up for lost seat pressure .
With the .540 lift exh lift of your new cam adding the needed shim would you take you up to .570 when those as shipped springs are rated to coil bind at .575.
In short, yes get the new springs and set them up for 150 psi on the seat and then go and have fun!

Thanks a lot!
But I got the heads with flat tappet springs and later (2000 miles ago) I changed to a HR cam, so I needed new valve springs, which are the Lunati that I mentioned. Does this change anything or still better use new springs?
Butler uses these springs if you buy a set:
