GT40 springs

I'm not sure. I don't know specifics on valve spring pressure and install heights/diameter etc. Your best best is to call COMP and ask what springs you need for a stock cam and get a price that way.

theyre around $50 but if i can reuse mine then i will, i am putting new seals in which are around 10 - 20, the springs are about 80

EDIT: i wouldnt be able to reuse the retainers unless the new springs were 1.37 outside diameter

That's a good kit mang.
I ran those on my P heads with a tfs1 cam and never had any issues.
