Custom grind using 1.85 rockers?
Hi Guys, i have been reading through the threads on here and come to the conclusion that i may be a tad small in the cam department...
I have a 383 stroker and i currentley have a Comp cam 222/224 (XR 275) ,
My other mods are-
LS2 intake with N Williams 90mm,
Dart 225 heads,
1 3/4" Custom ex manifolds with twin 2.5" system, no cats.
5 speed close ratio TKO 600 3.08 Ltd slip diff
Car weighs 2600lbs
But the main question is can a custom grind cam be used in conjuction with my 1.85 Comp Cam rockers? I already own these and are in my motor. It would be nice not to have to splash out on some more. I use the car as a weekender mainly, but when summers here i do use it for a bit of sales repping as it cheers the workday up a bit!
Thanks in advance

i see you have a couple of choices.
1. keep your rockers and just get a bigger cam with the same xe lobes, i'd say a cam in the 23x-24x would be great in your lightweight beast !
2. get a set of stock ratio rockers and use a cam with a more agressive lobe design like an xer,xfi or lsk.
since you already have the rockers i would just get a bigger duration cam with the same lobes.
