OK, I would buy a testkit with several spinevalues. Write on the shaft which spinevalue it is.I would buy three shafts for every spinevalue.
Then start shooting and find out what spine works the best for YOU and YOUR set-up and particular form.
Don't forget to shoot at big distances, like 50 yards. A big distance will tell you everything how well the arrow flies.
Keep the test-kit for future tuning, every archer should have such a kit and it is only a small investment.
My 5 cents...

Mr Palmer has been building that bow for how long? I think I would stick to his suggestion.

Please go with Dutchmans suggestion,also make sure of your shooting form and back tension,I think that's one reason WY you hear of people shooting arrows 30 and 40 pounds over spine for there set up.

Okay if I get a test kit, they come in 11/32... question is when I find the right spine, I then want to make some in a tapered shaft, is there any difference in 11/32 and tapered shafts also the test kit comes with 3 5inch feathers...I shoot 4 4 inch feathers is any of this gonna change things once I find the right spine, and the make my own from tapered shafts....?

The spine difference with the tail taper is quite minimal… a pound or two, as I understand. I don't think the fletching difference will have any visible affect on the spine, maybe just a hair different in flight, maybe for the better with the 4 fletch.

Yah stick to someone on the web suggestion instead of the bowyer that's been building your bow for what, near 40 years. That's sound advise in my book.

That's the way to go! No matter how experienced a bowyer is, he can't judge your form without seeing you shooting. And I respect Mr. Palmer highly!
Give 10 skilled archers the same bow with the same poundage and I wouldn't be surprised if they all came out with a different set-up.
My friend Hubi and me are experienced archers and we both have a high ranking in the 3D tournaments.
Nevertheless we both have a total different set-up for exactly the same bows. While we shooth them equally good. There is just no general rule.
Tuning a bow to perfection is a personal matter, because no form or shooting style is the same.
And a tuning set is a must-have in my opinion.
