Highest lift anyone is running with stock LS7 rocker arms?
Just wondering what is the most cam lift someone is running with stock LS7 rockers (not Jesels, etc.)? I know of some in the 0.650" range, but wondering if someone has pushed this more.
We're going to be playing with a buddy's car soon (C6 Z06) and will have the motor out to be able to mock up piston-to-valve clearance and how the rockers do on the valve tip with a very high lift cam.
Thanks for the input. Take care. Dave
PS: For those all secretive, I don't need duration or LSA.

I did, I ran .669 lift. I highly recommend the harland sharp mod...I had 2 rockers fail on me and spill needle bearings everywhere. One was the exhaust as well (.655)
FWIW I was running a 246/257 112+2 .669/.655 Cam Motion

Also, with that high of lift, you are going to want to pay special attention to the wipe pattern as I can almost guarantee it will be off. We used custom thickness lash caps from a bmw/porsche place on the east coast. A lot cheaper than custom length TI valves

On the Harland Sharp mod, can you elaborate? I'm familiar with them, but not of the specific mod you are referring to. Thanks. Dave
