Too bad that would put him way over the limit of lt4 springs. .544 lift with a spring rated at .525

The hotcam is about your only option as far as the popular aftermarket cams go. The LT4 springs are junk.

I wouldn't call them "junk" but they were designed for a specific purpose: to allow .525" lift with otherwise stock components to match the LT4 cam. You just need to know their limitations.
