well I don't know their limits, but I can tell you that I broke 3 running a .592 lift cam. Take it for what it's worth, spend the extra 400 or so for a good set of rollers because when they go odds are they are going to take out some springs too. (experience talking)

I haven't had any problems running stockers with a .575 lift cam.
I am worried about the new one though.

I have read of guys running large stroker based cams with the stock rockers. I have to take it easy on the motor anyways, think they would be okay on a .629 lift cam for a while??
Kinda on a budget. Rockers are something I plan on changing in the future. Things happened to kinda restrict this build. Not able to quite get it to where I want it right away.
Thanks!!

the lift itself isn't what kills the rockers, it is the rpm.

i wouldn't be worried too much in that case. but always keep it in the back of your mind that the rockers will be your weak link in the valvetrain, assuming hardened pushrods and sufficient springs.
