Correct valve springs?

ok the more I look at things the more I am questioning with this engine. It's a .030 over 455 with high compression Pistons, and a comp 280h cam. It has screw in studs with comp roller rockers and stock re sized pushrods. I was looking at the valve springs and decided to pull up the website and without knowing exactly the part number of the springs and going by looks and what the description is I believe the springs I have are part number 26094 and they say they are Seat load 178 and open load 459 lbs. am I wrong thinking these are way too stiff of springs for what I've got her?

How do you know that by just looking at them? am I wrong thinking these are way too stiff of springs for what I've got her?
Don't assume, check it.

You need to check the springs, not just visually examine them. Not only does the model number matter, but installed height will change the seat load as well.
