Your right about the lift on the cam taking a little power away and i agree.
A set of 1.6 rockers installed and track tested would be a cool test on any purple shaft due to most of them being on the conservative side as far as the lift goes.
There are better high lift cams available for sure but you have to buy all new valve train parts most of the time to make them work correctly and last.
But you know how the story goes....#-o
If you only have so much cash i believe it's better to use your stock valve gear and heads and put the extra cash in the carb and converter and as always ----never enough gear lololol
My coronet is screaming for 2.02 valves and a higher lift cam for sure.
I would have done this buy now but my engine suffers from a piston with no valve reliefs.
It's made of keith black hyper material but looks just like a stock dish piston.
I think i could put more lift in my 318 stock engine.
Hey that's an idea :idea1:
