650+ lift. what springs r u using? As of now i have the Trex in my 408, runs great and pulls hard all around. With my cubes i know i have more room to grow, but couldnt find a valve spring with over a 650 lift. I am using the pat-golds that are rated at 650, but is there any other springs out there that i can use without michining the heads to make them fit? My plan is to run somewhere around 660's in lift. Thanks for the help,

Texas Speed and Performance. They are about the same price as the patriots. That kit is showing .660" lift, however, I'm sure you can specify the platinums and get the .670" lift. They are $289.99 a set, click link for more details.

Do you guys think the hydraulic lifters can take that much lift without being squashed? Not so much from the lift, from the spring pressure required to keep the valves from floating.

Id be carefull investing money in a hydraulic setup when you know a solid rollers gonna work. Solid is gonna make more power and have better drivability than hydraulic no matter what.

does look good, wondering if i could reuse my retainers from the golds and just buy the springs alone? So i am guessing this is the biggest spring you can buy without the machine work?
thanks for the replies
