Highest lift possible with STOCK Vortec heads and springs...

When I put my engine together I did not check the valve to piston clearance. I have stock Vortec heads with a ComCams XE 268, flat top pistons, and stock stamped 1.5 rockers. My block was never decked. I am wondering when I get roller rockers if I have enough clearance (valve spring coils and piston to valve) for 1.6's or 1.52's. So, who is running the highest lift or is this pretty close to the max.

SDPC says the springs will tolerate .450" of lift.
