Default Valve Springs...

Ok, so what is recommended for the HOT cam (.525/.525). I have LT4 springs in mine. I hope they are good enough for a long time. The machine shop did measuring and said they were ok.

I believe that those are the ones GM recommends for the Hotcam. I know they sell the Hotcam Kit which comes with the springs and I'm pretty sure that is what they come with.

Verify the part number at GM...shouldn't be too hard. Spring seat pressures should be listed there. :seeya

This is true, if you look in the GM performance parts book, they show part no. 12551483 as being the spring for the 96 LT4. Also it is the spring that comes in the Hot Cam Kit.
