not positive but seems i recall something about 425 being the biggest you want to go with stock springs. call woods or web they will probably tell you what you want to know and if not call the bom.

I would at least go with H/D springs, those cams should'nt go over 8000 RPM what CDI are you running?

The stock springs have .085 clearance.
Thus to stay within a .050 safe zone, you can only have a maximum lift of .425"
HD shim over should be fine.
Did you call Web and verify that the camshaft profile ramps do not clip onto the outside edges of valve buckets?
