Your old cam was on a 117 LSA and that low lift with some decent duration? What a bizzare combination. Was it ground as a blower cam or something? Those rockers probably helped you out a bit on the lift, but still.
You'll almost surely pick up a bit with this new cam. Can't wait to see the results.

Yeah, that was why i bought the rockers to up the lift. I'm hoping for better results, with the custom cam.
I understand I still might need some 4.10 to get the low end or atleast thats what i'm told because the 3.42 arn't cutting it

It's not like these cars really need tons of crazy lift, it's just very common to see everyone at least anywhere from the .580mark to around the .615ish area. Duration will still serve it's purpose even without gigantic lifts that we commonly see. Just my 2 cents.
