plus i never have been a huge fan of the lumpy cam sound,
i like a normal sounding car that will surprise people. if you hear a cam people think that is a fast car. they dont race you or if they do they think that you automatically run 10's
i am just looking for a low to mid 12 sec car on boltons no spray

IMO unless you build you're self a VERY VERY strong valvetrain setup a 1.7 rocker will cause issues due to the added stress on the valve train.........the leverage point is moved so far back on a 1.7 rocker that it adds much more stress to the pushrods, lifters, cam and rocker studs........personally it is not worth the trouble if you were running a solid shaft setup id say ok....but in this case i'd go 1.6's and find urself a nice cam instead with the extra money....
