Default LS purple stripe valve spring specs

Does anyone know where to find or have the Valve spring specs for the LS 1 valve springs that came in corvettes and had a purple stripe? I searched and did not find much. I am going to have my heads redone and come across these and they had a great price but I couldn't find much on them, They are going to go into a set of 799 on a 5.3 that will also be getting a cam swap. Any help is appreciated.

I was going to buy the blue ones which were recommended but then I thought I read somewhere that GM likes to color code the same spring 4 different ways. Now I can't find any info on that.

I presume the cam is recommended for use with GM springs? I means specifically from the vendor or is a stock GM cam?
