Default Need HEAD assistance quick!

Well my head was making some interesting sounds a week ago and i didnt notice anything performance wise as in loss, so for saftey sake we took the head off and dropped it off at a local head shop thats been known to do some very sick work.
I got a call earlier yesterday that i have 2 broken valve springs, so now i need a recomendation on what valve springs to replace it with. I currently have my head:
-ported and polished from KG
-Ferrea 1mm oversized valves
-bronze valve guides
-Dual web valvesprings (2broken)
-web ti retainers
-web cams

Ive been considereing getting rid of the web retainers and obviously the valve springs. My application is a street driven LS b18b that is shooting for 350-400whp, reving out to 8000-8500 at the most. Please give me somewhere to get a good set of valve springs and retainers, a buddy of mine has rocket motorsport springs/retainers, but ive been having trouble locating a dealer on these, the other 2 companies ive been considereing are either REV that i saw on stans fast-turbo.com site, or the obvious... crowers.
If anyone knows any dealers on honda-tech running specials or any good dependable websites to order through please let me know. Or if there are any recomendations on different companies.

Thank you. (heeelp me)

I ran the Crower race springs in my LS and used to take it to 9500. They took those R's all day long.
I now run Ferrea in all my personal motors. I would go with either those 2 or the REV's which are also proven.
