Default Turbo 4.6 valve springs question

Does anyone know which valve springs will work better for a turbo charged 4.6 with a comp cam XE270 in it? I have the 26113 beehives and am wondering if I should upgrade to the high load 26125? Has anyone done this or have heard anything?

personally i wouldn't run a comp 270 cam with a turbo. i believe the rule of thumb is you wan't at least 100 lbs. of seat pressure for a turbo setup.

+1 Check into some turbo or blower cams. You will be much happier with the performance.

Thanks for the advice. I was at the machine shop I'm having my heads cleaned up and they said the same thing. Maybe I'll get a wet kit instead.
