Need some Help

I want to run a cam with 0.564 int./0.582 exh. lift. They recommend their springs with the cam and lifter kit. Would the springs they suggest bind with that lift or i was also thinking about putting in their cam with a longer exhaust duration with a .600 lift. How can I tell if the springs would bind. These lifts are with a stock rocker ratio, what type of rocker should I go with. I would prefer somthing that doesnt require much machine work but I also want to do the job right. And if I need to go to the machine shop how much are you guys taking off of the pedistal to get these to run right. I am going to put this engine in my street rod. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

most offten cam and lifters and springs are a good idea to buy as a package deal i wouldnt worry about them binding they should know what they are talking about it. you can also buy a kit from summit part#CRN-52655-16 it is alot cheaper than getting your heads milled and the kit is cheap i think it is under $100.00 i ran the same set in a race motor for years and never had a issue with them. and just run a good roller rocker you can run a 1.7 ratio or a chevy 1.73 not much differnce but some times you can get a better deal with chevy parts.
