Valve lift with Edelbrock Heads
I'm currently or was running a cam with .600 lift with these heads. I know they say max .575 but I made it work. I was thinking of going a little more but don't think I can get it. Wait longer valves may be the answer. Just wondering what the max others are using. I'm using Beehive springs which are a pain to remove.

I was looking at a couple of Lunati rollers that push beyond. I'm using HS 5017 rockers and one cam is .600 so may need .637 and a couple are .693 or so. I'll be porting the heads this next build, My assumptions are that the heads will flow enough to support higher lifts, I realize there are limits and I'm probably stretching it.
