Valve springs??

Hey guys its been a while since i last posted, but i have a question. I just recived my DIY stage-1 injector's for my 1994 f350 PSD and will be doing them soon. Since iam going to be in there rebuilding my injectors iam going to replace the glow plug's, valve stem seal's and would like to throw on a new set of valve springs since this motor has high milage. My question is where can i get a new set of valve springs for it? Does anyone sell upgraded valve springs? any info will help
Erik
p.s. iam not looking for dealership valvesprings, but if that's the only place that sells them that i guess thats my only choice.

Thanks for the reply, yeah i did a search and came up with Hypertech. But they only offer upgrade springs that will require machining to the seat pockets, which means the heads have to come off and get machine work done! No thanks to that!!
i will check the sponsors, any other info will help guys.
thanks

honestly i dont think you'll need aftermarket springs unless your planning on going to big injectors. I didnt run into valve float (230k miles on engine) until i started pushing the boost above 40 psi and 3500 rpms. I have a set of BRAND NEW stock springs i pulled off my new heads. Let me know if your interested, i'll let them go cheap.

IMO the hypermax kit is over priced, i can get you something just as good for about half the price AND the springs are direct drop in.

Well iam not sure if the head has to come off, but in there add it says that valve spring seat requires machining. Every time i had to get cylinder head valve seat area machined for over sized springs the head had to come off.
