I would find out if they replaced them or not kinda no point in paying for upgraded springs when you possibly have them already

Take a spring and retainer to any reputable cylinder head shop in your area and have them test it. Test it @ an installed height of around 1.320" and then subtract the lift of the pro2 to find the pressure of the valve spring at max lift. For example if the pro2 cam has a lift of .500 (i dont know what it is off the top of my head)

1.320 - .500" =.82

Get back to us with numbers.

If you can Take a picture of the springs in the head I can tell you if it will work for allmotor
