We use a tool at school for checking valve springs, im not sure what its called but im pretty sure its not cheap, but the valve springs had to be out of the heads. Not sure if you can check them while still in the head

several companies offer them for assembled engine checking. I don't know if they will work on the ls1 or fit under the cowl area of the f-bodies though. You can also pick up some cheaper off the car versions as well. Check with the sponsors, local hot rod shops or jegs/summit.
