Default 08 headflow

Even though the 08 heads with the "beehive" springs can take upwards of .575+ lift at what point do these heads loose flow?

What i'm trying to figure out is, even if you put in a higher lift cam, if the heads only flow to say about .500 then it really makes no sense to put higher lift cams.

Looking to do a cam in a 96 inch "bolt in" and want the most bang for the install...
