Somewhere around there I think. I think that is where Rick Abare was running into problems with it. I'm running F.A.S.T. though.

I'm thinking if I run a larger cam an shorter ratio rocker arm I can get away with more lift. Is that right?

I am running a cam with .650 lift, 1.6 Crane Golds using LT4 composite valve covers. After spinning the engine several times there is no interference.

That is good to know.
