Big lift cams in daily drivers
What's yalls opinion on running high lift cams on a daily? I know on stock heads over about .570 lift isn't doing much good, but my friend has a cam he's gonna give me a screaming deal on that's a 220/224 and like a .617 lift and I don't wanna have to change springs every 10k miles honestly so let's hear some opinions on it.

Your springs are affected worse by the ramp rate of the cam more so than the actual lift of the cam get the cam card and post it up and I'm sure someone can tell you or just call comp or cam motion whichever it's ground by and tell them the specs and they'll tell you exactly what you need to know

I've got a Comp LSR 265 on the shelf in the garage that I had in the old 5.3. It was in there for about 2 years and I put about 40k on it.
Never had an issue with springs. With any cam over .600 and stock heads, you'll have to use 7.450 PR's else it'll sound like a sewing machine.
I'd measure for the PR, but it wouldn't surprise me if I was right.
