Default daily driving ls7 springs holding for trex or MS3

the stock ls7 cam is .591/.591,

do you think the springs can hold the trex's lift...


and how is the trex for daily driving?

When choosing springs for a certain cam, one shouldn't look at lift capability only but more at seat/open pressures of said spring.
This is determined by the agressiveness of the cam lobe not the lifts.
In short, no the LS7 springs will not handle the ramp rate of the MS3 or T-Rex.
