Default Factory Ls1 valve vs spring pressure??

The factory valves of the ls1 heads can tolerate valve springs set ups for .625 lift?
Any of you with big cams and factory valves ever broke a valve because the valve sring pressure?

if your running the proper spring pressure with your big cam why would you break a valve . if your running inadequate spring pressure you can have valve float and the pistons can touch the valves or the springs can break all together and pistons will smack the valves.
