Default 500 HP What valve springs to use?

I have a 1999 Formula Fastech with 500 HP motors. Have always heard that after a few hundred hours that valve springs start breaking. I'm pulling heads this winter, what is best springs to put back into motor. Any suggestions?

Dean,
The Crane replacement is Part # 99896. Depending on your lifters and installed ht. you can also use the Isky #8005/8205 (upgrade S/SP series) or the K-Motion 850 with good results.
