lift has no efect on emisons its duration and you shouldnt go biger than a 224@.050 so that means a hot cam or a cc503 is as big as you should go

K so say a custom grind was on the list, as long as a stay at a 113 LSA and around that 224@.050 how high can the lift go? the springs, retainers, locks, guides and all would be upgraded with a new cam
