230 duration with 609 lift <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> I would NOT do it with milled heads! I think the TR230 barely clears. Im not for certain though.

Wanna sell <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> lol

** left out the NOT word lol **

What numbers are you looking at on the cam card? Multiply "lobe lift" by 1.7 to get lift.

The card should say something like...
------------------intake exhaust
duration @ .05----230 227
lobe lift---------.3476 .3360
lobe separation---112.0

My x1 had a misprint on the card but the lobe lift was correct. Bet it's from the same lot.

I have no clue why comp printed the gross lift specs with a 1.75 rocker ratio. anyways you're good to go.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. My specs I believe on the cam card on mine were almost the same. I have milled heads to 10.8, but my clearance was ok. You definately should check clearance though with milled heads.
