Like the title says

The recommended valvesprings from TFS are only rated to a .542 lift, which is what the cam will be with my stock 1.7 rockers.

I know Ford Racing makes springs, and Crane has a set..but they never list how much lift they can take until coil bind

So which ones will i need

Thanks
