Default Cam Question

Is anyone using Crane 2033 camshaft (.479/.518 lift and 210/224 duration@.050)which is similar to a zz-9 cam and how would this work with
1.6 rockers and a superram

It will work with 1.6s but you will need tripple springs for that much lift; 1.5RRs would keep the lift under .520" and allow you to use a single spring with damper to fit the stock pockets.

If this is the lift with 1.5 ratio rockers, I would think it's plenty for stock L98 d-ports. Too much lift is hard on springs and lifters, if the heads can't use it, why add the stress?
