Default What about a ASA custom ground higher lift

Just like it says. What do you cam expersts think? I love the ASA cam. How do you think it would perform with the same intake and duration on the same LSA with a higher lift. Say take it from the .525 and up it to .575 or so. How would it affect it? Would the cam still keep its great trouqe through the power band and just up HP or am I missing something. I would love to custom grind a cam like that. Any ideas from you cam experts out there?

if you went with 1.85 rockers the lift would be .571


this is what I'm thinking about doing with my setup.

Right but would it not be cheaper to have a custom ground cam as opposed to switching out rockers.

Probably.........also with the rockers I think it would give you a little more duration also. Probably end up being 228/238 or similar.

I run something similiar but just got it back together and haven't been able to drive or tune it because of the weather and not having any mufflers right now. It is a 239/246 .651"/.613" 106lsa 106icl cam. I'll let you know how it works out.
