I would use OEM replacement springs used originally on the HP motors, they have a damper spring coil inside the main spring. The reason I say this is that while your cam is more than standard, you don't want to go to double valve springs which put a lot more tension on the valve. this also leads to a lot more load on the cam lobes when running and could eventually lead to premature wear if you use the car as a daily driver. Food for thought.
 
I think Mopar performance recommends dual valve springs for that? I would call comp cams and see if they have a single above the 911 spring and use a titianum retainer to take just that much weight off valve tip at 6600 rpm.
 
I would rather wear down the cam a few thousand miles sooner than have the slightest bit of valve float before redline. And is it really possible to have no float with .528 lift at 6600 rpm?
