Maybe look at the Hughes Engines "Whiplash" cams. Or Lunati's version of the same concept.

About .5" with springs matched to a moderate cam is the rule of thumb for stock rockers.

I agree that anything over .500 lift is pushing your lock on stock pieces. Ron

I agree with Ron I ran a .500 lift cam in a 440 for a while.It was a daily driver at the time.With the heavy springs and lift it started to hog out the rockers.Went to adjustables when I went to a .525 cam.Rocky
