That is maybe the most argued cam spring question on the Internet. "Are my ls6 springs enough for my .5xx lift cam. You will need the tools to do so just google valve spring seat pressure tester. You will find it.

That's exactly why I'm going to a baby cam in February; valve springs are too expensive to keep replacing every 3-4 oil changes.
