Re: cam/rocker question

that's me. I'm takin' it one thing at a time. I have heads done and a bored out & clearanced block. Need stroker kit, valvetrain, etc. In the meantime I am running the heads with valves/springs I had laying around so when the time comes I will tear them down and rebuild them before putting them on the big build. summer '08 hopefully. I'm not gonna lie it's gonna take a while. It took time for me to figure out what I was going to do to begin with.

Finally got a real job, I was working at Staples, then a cabinet shop, now I'm with AT&T making better money. I'll be happy with 12s, ecstatic with 11s.

7/2008 it should roll out of the confines of my garage with more displacement. I'm going to build it with the help of a few friends.

Fair enough, just making sure you aren't wasting our time!

In other words, the cam ground for the 1.6 rockers has a higher lift, but still results in .530 lift at the valve and the cam ground for the 1.8 rockers still results in .530 lift at the valve also.

the milder lift cam with higher ratio rockers will provide more performance than a high lift cam w/ lower ratio rockers.

Re: cam/rocker question

That's what I was wondering. So basically, the whole concept of a high-ratio roller-rocker not working with a high-performance cam is due to the excess lift I am guessing. Maybe I'll do a milder lift cam with aggressive duration and some 1.8:1 roller rockers on the stroker build?
