OBD0 B16 head + CTR cams = valvesprings ok?

I have an old school B16 head.
I also have a set of CTR cams.
Will the valve springs be able to take the added lift?
If not is there a cost effective upgrade?
I really don't need to rev it past where my P72 limits it.
Thanks

yes
springs/retainers are cost effective

ITR valve springs. Don't run CTR cams with stock B16 springs. You may get away with it, but if you don't it will be very expensive.
