Divide your current lift by your existing rocker ratio and then multiply by the new ratio.

Not just 93's.... I don't know why people keep repeating that....

94's do too, but you should always check them with a file to be sure

im not sure how you got that number..but you are wrong..factory cam is .450/460 for lift in 93-95 camaros..so with a 1.65 rocker that gives you .495/.506 for lift an 1.7 is .510/.521 which is what ill be running
