Question BIG CAM users come on in

Curious to what the average lift everyone is running ?. Also what reliability issues anyone has ran into ? Curious if anyone is running the larger LSK lobes with the LS7 1.8 rockers.
in the beginning of the LS rage people said it was impossible to have .600+ lift daily driver and it has been done too many times to count now .650" lift is very common, is .700" lifts likely what do you think ?

I've got 22,000 miles on my LS7 with a .658" lift cam and Patriot Extreme springs, no issues. I am going to replace the springs soon, just for insurance.

I have ran several cams in the .650" range with no troubles but for some reason .700" seems like a big jump in valve train stress. I wanna get the most out of these PRC 285cc LS7 heads I have, but still remain reliable and NO solid roller i have a race car for that. I don't want to leave power on the table and lift is not like duration as to the effects on drive ability.
