Spring Life with .600 lift
I am looking at a camshaft that has .600 inch valve lift. Is there a best selection for springs for this lift? I would prefer a stock rev limit so valve float is not a concern.
What kind of life has everyone experienced with this lift, notably with the OMC profile used by Thunder Racing on the old man cam and the CheaTR series?
Is it preferred to shim to .050 for best life?

How about using LS7 valve springs!
Durability has to be there, but anybody familiar with the fitment of these springs on conventional LS1 heads??
is there a necessary longer valve length that is needed in order for the springs to work properly without bind?
