Default Quick Q..installed height valve springs

What is the installed valve spring height on a stock LT1?

A search didn't do much for me and it wasn't in the FAQ..

If I remember the springs I installed last year I set them up at 1.80. I hope that helps. A couple valves I don't think I had to use a shim but most of them took around a .010 to .020 shim.
