DUAl valve spring question...
I just ordered a complete cam package for my 98 SS, and i was wondering if there is any type of machine work involved for getting these dual valve springs to seat properly on the heads? thanks.

Most "LS1" springs are a direct fit and just slip into place. Few people worry about installed height and open pressure, but it could be a legitimate concern.
You would need to know if they need to be shimmed by measuring the "installed height" of the springs on YOUR heads with an install mic. A local shop should be able to help you with this if the heads are off your car, but fwiw, most people probably just drop them in- especially if you're not running a super agressive camshaft.
