Re: cam lift ?

Take gross valve lift and multiply it by your rocker ratio. Dunno if 654 is the gross lift on your cam (if it is holy ****) but you'd multiply .654 x 1.5=.981 and =1.0137 for 1.55 ratio. Thats an inch of lift so I hope you enjoy replacing worn out valve springs.

Re: cam lift ?

does the cam have a base circle lift of 654? if so then just multiply by the rocker #. but if that is advertised lift then you must divide by 1.5(thats what most companies use for advertised lift) and then multiply by the rocker ratio.

I think your talking about advertised lift bc otherwise you'd have
981 and 1013.7 and those are some insane unmbers that dont even make sence in BBC world till you go top fuel.


your last comment on 700 spring and 654 lift doesnt make much sence. you need the spring to have more lift than does the cam/rockers but you also need it to have the right spring rates. something hard on cams with the heavier springs.

Re: cam lift ?

the cam selection should be based on flow sheets and the exact build of your truck(every single detail goes into that selection), if I had all that info I'd be more able to help you with that. pm me and I' can put together a custom cam for your build. price is 350 and could be ready in about 2 weeks. I can do flat or step nose, roller or solid, all depends on your goals and intended use.
