How much lift can I do without changing springs again?
just as the title says, i want to run a cam on stock heads and also NEVER change the springs again, unless some fluke where one breaks for some unkonwn reason. i saw where the hotcam is .525 lift and with that, people have said never change the springs again. so if i ran some Comp 918's, what is the maximum amount of lift i could run on a cam. i want to get one custom made to my criteria and specs, do i need to give yall more info to work with or no? thanks for any feedback!

This question is like asking - how long can I run my engine without changing the oil? Changing your oil is easier than changing your engine.
If you don't want to change the valve springs run the stock cam and valve train... GM will guarantee them from the factory for 30K miles...
