Default Rocker Arm ?

I was wondering I have a LS3 could you put 1.7's on the intake and 1.8's on the exhaust, I have seen this done on other small blocks. The lift on the intake would stay at .551 and the exhaust would jump to .556 would there be any benifit. It would help scavenge the exhaust side better since there is a big difference in valve size.

I was just throwing that out there I've heard of of it being done, if you did it that way it would save a spring change. I am considering going 1.85 anyway lift will be .600 on the intake and .571 on the exhaust. Then throwing a E-Force on it, what effect will the increased lift have on Boost?

Increased lift will just open the valve further and let more air in for your boost. Thats why guys with super charges and turbos often go with a forced induction cam to maximize their performance.
