Why is it so hard to get good advice !!???

Too much? hell no. In fact, I'd like to see another .040-.060" lift on it with 1.5s.

I have a 1.6 ratio rocker arm kit ready to go in. I was going to try it with the '509 cam in place, but since I am leaning toward changing cams, I see no need to buy two sets of pushrods.
The lift at 1.6 ratio comes up to .576/.592.
