dont think it matters...the ramps are too radical to handle 1.8 rockers.

i never had it dynoed, but the guy said it was putting out 440 RWHP.

it was a LOT torquier than my buddies TA with this cam.

Comp "Custom" cam (231 237 .589 .595 112LSA)

and he ran an 11.9x in the quarter.

something just seems strange

Properly spring it should handle the rockers. You will lose some lift and valve duration if you return to 1.7's but the lifter loading will also decrease. Which rockers are they?
