Default breaking-in cam, inner springs

Hi Guys,
I have been reading a lot of threads regarding spring pressure and the damage ocouring to cam lobes during break-in or the first few thousand miles.
Here's my question, as I begin to assemble my engine, in your opinion, while building out my heads should I leave out the inner springs on my valve train set-up? If so for how long?
Components are a 427so standard bore, 428 scat crank, eagle rods, diamond pistons, edelbrock performer rpm heads, comp cams 282s solid lifter camshaft, solid lifters,(duh), dove roller rocker assembly.
I should also say that I have installed all the necessary restrictor plugs in the block and head.
I think I know the answer to this one but there is a lot of expereince out there I would like to tap into.

Thanks,

Mark
