Default The Max Lift question again (camshaft)

I tried searching, but as usual it didnt work. I was wanting to know what the max lift is for a cam with stock springs, plus just max lift period. I was planning on using 1.7rr's.

dont be a dick, keep it .475 or less - but even then your still a dick, cause they gonna float like a butterfly

*edit* to be somewhat helpful, you DO know you can change them with the heads on the vehicle right?

Well, I am quite a large shaft that is never in need of any KY. But, that is not what I am needing to know. .475?... Isnt that stock lift.?. You cant even get a decent cam under .485

no reason to change roller lifters..... you can get around .500 outta the springs before they bind but wtf dude your building yourself a p.o.s. if you do that crap.

Unfortunately I dont know how they categorize those. I only know numbers here. Not every one use that A, B, & E thing. I was thinkin just under 300 duration and close to .500 lift.
