how close to coil bind is safe?
how close can your lift numbers be to the size spring before you should worry about being "unsafe"?
basically if you are running springs that handle .600" lift, is it safe to run .595" of lift?
or is it a better rule of thumb to give more "buffer" than that?

stock lt1 springs are rated for .525"...and i think ls1 are the same
so the springs on the hotcam would need to be more. probably .550" or .570"
