what is the maximum full valve spring open pressure that can be used with the stock stamped steel rocker arms along with longevity and durability?

500 to 525 is about it. also they wont be at 1.5 ratio. they never are, so the actual lift would be less.

Thanks Moparal for quick reply. I was still wondering though what valve spring full open pressure could safely be used with the stock rockers.

a comp 924 spring for a 509 in a big block carries around 345 open just for a comparison

Crane 99838s seem similar to the above which i've used a lot in smallblocks and Aussie hemi sixes with stamped rockers and lifts in the 500-550 range no real problems.
