Hot Cam kit - spring question.

I will be putting my heads together next week and need to know the correct spring height. I want my valvetrain to be ballanced right.

A good After market double spring will work.( comp,crane,Kmotion) But if you have the assets avalible go for a triple.

As I mentioned in the topic I have the LT4 Hot Cam kit witch came with cam, springs and roller rockers. I just needed the recomended spring height to properly set the springs. thanks for the answers anyway.

Thanks Kevin. I had to machine the spring seats to except the larger springs that came in the kit and I wanted to make sure I was in the ball park.
