When I design and build things I notice the paper and product parallel one another. That's just how it is supposed to be and how it works.

If that were right then like I said all you need to do is measure the new base circle. Nothing else needed.
If you actually did a measurement with a dial indicator you would see that the cup movement inside the lifter is not linear. So where does your math compensate for that? I have measured high mileage lifters, brand new lifters, 40-50k lifters. They are not exactly linear. Just like the difference in turning torque vs breakaway torque.
