Which valve springs for high boost apex?

I have an '06 apex with a BD 2860RS turbo setup. The motor is built with Carrillo rods, JE GP pistons, balanced assembly, and some minor head work. I'm still running the stock valve springs at about 16 lbs of boost. For a fall project I'm considering adding the auxillary MSD fuel pump to run higher boost levels (20-24 lbs) and am wondering what valve springs I should be looking for. Also, if I decide to stay with just 16 lbs of boost, are the stock springs ok?
 
Valve Springs

No Need to change valve springs with stock cams. Just make sure your cam timing is done right and valve clearance is set to max specs and you should be fine.
Trying to run bigger boost will cause more heat in that Boodocker header etc. and try to work on efficency not high boost.

Thanks Dave. I'll be getting ahold of you shortly for some suggestions on the dump pipe and the RB3. Do you do exchanges for your ported wastegates or do I need to get you my turbo asap?
