Primarily because this is a Comp Cams retro-fit hydraulic roller cam install and per their tech advice I've been given these range of numbers to shoot for with their lifters I'm using:

Spring Pressure/Load Capability

SEAT (closed) : 110-160 lbs
LOBE (open) : 280-485 lbs

Taking that beehive spring to 1.770" height already puts me past that 160 lbs max and nearly up to 180, co-incidentally this was the value I was already at with my original 930 springs, so going back to that point would really defeat the purpose of everything I had done so far.
