What size valves? material? hollow stem/titanium?  Most FE HR lifters are heavy, and Ferrea valves are very heavy if you use a 2.150-2.190 valve, so more seat pressure would be wise.  I think I would shoot for 160-180# on seat to be safe.  Joe-JDC.

I'm usually in that ballpark.  Fairly small cam though, so you could lean on the low side and be ok. 

Before you jump on a 930 spring, be sure and measure your current install height with the retainer you're going to use, then pick the spring based on that info.

If I were doing it, I'd be around 150-160 seat and around 380 open.
