Lift matters little with piston to valve clearance because when the valve is at maximum lift, the piston is nearly at the bottom of the cylinder bore. It's when the piston is approaching or departing top dead center that you get P to V clearance issues. The longer you hang a valve open (duration), the more chance you have of getting into P to V issues. Repeat after me, duration is what gives piston to valve clearance issues, not lift.
As an example: a 248/258 .500/.500" lift cam would have piston to valve contact.
A 224/228 .750/.750" cam would not.

I paid $400.11 for the exact same grind as Patrick. When I had called (this was early last week), he said there were 3 people already asking about Patrick's cam, lol
My swap was set back a bit by my motor developing a main bearing knock. I guess I deserve that for driving my car for over a month and a half on 7 cylinders :sigh: Oh well, picking up a 30k mile shortblock next weekend and gathering other "fun" parts up.

I ordered my cam as a slight variation of Patricks, more tuned for my personal goals. Cost was 414 and change, shipped. Same as an off the shelf cam would have cost me.

I think Thunder Racing should give Patrick some kick back on all the business this thread is bringing them, I just put an order in yesterday! Geoff is working on something like this for me; 227/236 .637/.600 110 (+0) intake is an LSK, the exhasut is an XE-R lobe. $415.00 including cam doctor.
