best valvesprings w/out machining?

I am looking at new valvesprings w/ my new motor because the valvesprings I have (EX components 612s) I do not really respect their limit of .600" lift. I am looking for some valvesprings with around .650-.700 lift capacity. Is there such a spring for a reasonable price? I know I am asking a lot, but if the only way I can go for decent price is the comp beehive springs (i believe they are .600" lift as well?) I will just stick with what I have now. I just want more lift out of the 383 and it decides what cam I can get.

thanks

Well what cam are you trying to run with this? How much RPM are you going for with the 383, you might not need more lift.
