Andy, the roller springs that come on those heads would likely be suitable for just about any roller cam I would use with them. If I were putting something together that I thought needed an .800 lift cam, I would just use bigger heads.
That Manley spring is like 900lbs open. I can't see myself opting to run that much spring with a normal shaft set up that only has five 3/8" studs holding it in place, and that much span between the studs.
I have no doubt that it won't be long and someone will put a set of these heads on something and run .800 or more lift, and make good power in the process. I just don't feel like that was the type of build these heads were targeting. I'm sure 700hp+will be easy enough to make with a pretty simple 505rb combo and a cam that would work okay with the supplied roller springs........ And that's more along the lines of what I feel is the main type of build these heads were intended for.
