Light weight hood springs, how tight to wind ?

I didn't think the hinges would have enough lift by just installing them when they would just slip in , in the relaxed state , So I wound then a 1/2 turn .
The hood is an AAR fiberglass hood with SuperStock scoop.
The hood lifts and closes easily . But when the hood is closed the cowl edge of the hood is being pushed up by the hinges . The hood is flush while I push it down.
I put the factory steel hood on for sheetmetal alignment on the doghouse. And the factory hood has enough weight to hold the hinges down to be flush with the cowl.
I guess I'll change the spring position 1/2 turn looser .
But I don't think that will hold the hood up all the way.
