What are the # on those springs and what application are they for.
LS6 springs will work but you need a LS6 or comp cams retainer. The stock retainers are not large enough. And stay away from comp keepers till they straighten out their angle issue.

I know I've read somewhere that on the series 2, if you go past 105# springs, you need a single rollermaster timing chain. Otherwise the stock chain will chew up the stock damper in no time. But besides that 130# springs are way overkill for 1.9'*. Your friend wouldn't happen to have his stock springs would he? Those would work good.

Be careful with that much spring pressure. If the installed height is 1.7" instead of 1.8" as the spring was designed for, you will have a lot more spring pressure; at least at the installed height; probably around 135-142 lbs. I would suggest, for safety reasons, to stay between 95-110 lbs.
