Ok, went out to the garage Monday after work, and checked the install height that the heads were at. I didn't seat the locks before I took the pic, but after I seated the locks, the height checked out to be 1.8 in.

I had already bought new retainers and locks, as per comp cams recommendations, to "match" the springs and cam, so I checked what the install height was with the new set up. It also came out to 1.8 in. pic is before seating again.

I then went inside and called comp cams, because for some reason or another, they didn't feel the need to print the install height for their recommended springs, on the cam card. I talked to a guy, at comp cams, and informed him what my cam part number, and spring part numbers were, and asked him what my install height needed to be. After talking back and forth for a little while, he finally told me that the install height was 1.85 to 1.855 in. Knowing I had to gain about .050 in, I ordered some +.050 locks, to raise the retainers the required amount. The new locks arrived yesterday, so after work tonight, I went out to the garage and checked the install height, with the new locks. I seated the locks in this picture.

I'm going to call this a win, the measurement is roughly 1.851 in. I know what I'm going to be doing this weekend.
