Comps valvespring recommendations typicaly run high, more like BBC stuff.
Cranes published info for hyd rollers say Small Block applications: 120-145 lbs seat pressure and Big Block applications: 130-165 lbs seat pressure.
Subject to some debate but I think the typical valve weight used in the Pontiac heads are not like a BBC application.
