1.5 vs 1.6 rockers

Sometimes adding more ratio helps, sometimes it doesn't. It usually doesn't hurt. More ratio only adds power if the engine needs the valves to open quicker and further. Some engines don't need the intake valve to open faster, some do. There is no absolute answer, it just depends on what the engine needs.
My cam is small, the specs are .427/.454 lift and 204*/216* @ 050 and 112 centerline. The rest of the 360 is stock, except I put a 4bbl on it.
