Default LS1 Stock Valve Spring Specs

Does anybody know the specs on a stock set of LS1 valve springs? ID, OD, Seat Pressure, etc.

And or know the part number for them.

Thanks!

Na actually I got new springs. but my old ones are in perfect shape and I've got a few people interested in them. However, I don't know how any numbers so I have no way to tell if they'll work for their application.

Thanks for the specs!
