Two questions. What would the lift on my cam be with 1.85 rockers. Also I'm going to install a set of AFR 205s with stock gaskets and need to know if there will be any PTV clearance. Thanks.

take the gross lift, divide by 1.7, then multiply that number by 1.85

answer is .571 valve lift, a little more valve duration, and ptv will be fine.
