That's a tough question. I really think you have to find your own maintenence schedule based on your own abuse and use. Jason and I had discussed me doing all these things this Fall and he thought it was fine. I really don't think he realizes the extent I'm using the car. I got lucky, it was to long on a solid roller in a big block chevy. That being said, some guys could go a decade until they get to this point.
I can tell you this, if I keep up the schedule I've been runing for the last 3 years, it will get valve springs every year. I'm sure there on some LS guys chuckling right now. I've seen a fair share of them scattering all over the pavement over the last couple years. Anytime you get away from stock specs, you lose stock reliability. This is a lesson for everybody that is abusing their equipment.
