Default LT-4 Springs?

How much lift can the lt-4 springs from the lt-4 cam kit take?

I'm pretty sure its .525"

Barely enough for the hotcam if you're thinking of using it with a different cam go with different springs.

A lot more than lift has to be considered. The HOT cam is very mild lobes and achieves the .525 lift through rocker ratio which is easier on springs than moving the heavy tappet as much. Basically the ONLY setup I would recommend them on is 1.6 rockers on a stock cam, would not even recommend them on a HOT cam.

I agree. So many other options that are better and safer.
