Re: air fuel ratio gauge in circle track cockpit
Let the driver drive!
Use a Gopro camera or simalar aimed at the gage and review after the race/heat.
I tried to do about the same with a vacuume gage in a 2bbl car, asked him what's the vacuume just before corner entry/end of straight and off the end he went.

Re: Sbc valve spring pressure recommendation
Don't just ask about installed hight. Ask pressure also.
Tell them you need the pressures stated above minimum, if it takes a spring change to get there do it.
