Default Cam Lift?

I'm trying to pick out a cam for an FI build. In any case I want to know what parameters of lift are detremental to engine and spring life. Basically, at what lift should I expect my springs to get changed periodicly?

thanks in advance.

thats all relitive to what spring you run, the agressiveness of the lobe(ramp rate) and how many RPM's you wanna twist and for what duration you keep it in the higher R's

Every build is different. All that stuff has to be taken into account.

From what I have read the general consensus is anything over .600" starts to wear springs at a faster rate. Of course this varies quite a bit with different parts.
