Camshafts: What effect does increased lift have on performance?

As I've said for many years, it depends on what you're doing. For instance, "I" am not going to use a .600 plus lift cam in a slant 6. Their rocker arms are made of folded over sheet metal and I will likely never be able to afford a "good" rocker for a slant.....and even if I could, I wouldn't, because my stuff is 100% street.


Well you found my exception to that ruleā€¦the /6.

Not many consider the slanty a performance engine but you should be able to do .525-.550 lift pretty easy.
