Are these SuperTech Valve Springs overkill?

So I have these valve springs that came with the car I purchased but I am thinking that they are overkill for the goals I have in mind. The specs on these things are on the chart below. Part# SPR-M1009D. I have 272 cams in mind but not sure which brand yet. Do you guys think I need to downgrade a little bit and get different valvesprings?

Oh and the rest of my mods are 750cc injectors, MHI 20g turbo, Punishment racing FMIC, Fuel pressure regulator, Full Blown Dual fuel pump hanger, 3in exhaust, 6 puck clutch, I will be using DSM link v3 but that I still need to purchase.

I am probably going with bigger injectors because I want to run E85.

I dont see a reason to ever downgrade a valve spring. Or at least i have never heard of that being done. It just gives you more peace of mind: no valve float for you! Plus, lets say you want kelford's 272 camshaft. You will need heavy springs. I mean, theyre not mandatory but i certainly would want a dual spring or something much stiffer than stock with a Kelford 272.

Keep 'em
 
Im worried about one thing if I install these. Ive seen people get very technical when installing valve springs like measuring for valve spring height. Then I have seen people just slap valve springs on without doing any measuring. Do I have anything to worry about if I just install them as is?
 
With as much seat pressure as they have, installing them a bit tall will lower them, You should measure them so you know what pressures you have.
