Asking for a friend...lt4 valve springs

Anyone know the max lift lt4 valve springs can withstand. I know it's more than the lt4 hot cam kit rating of .525 but how much higher

thanks

I don't know exact specs but they shouldn't be any stronger than the hot cam springs. Reason being that the hotcam is more aggressive than a stock LT4 cam.

Lift is not the only variable. They are too weak for a HOT cam and it's lobes are lazy compared to aftermarket stuff.

About all those springs are truely good for would be 1.6 rockers on a stock cam.
