Default Question on roller rockers?

I'm thinking of changing out my 1.5 roller rockers to 1.6. tThe lift on the cam is 540. My question is what will it change the lift to. Thanks for you help and knowledge, Vince :cheers:

My question is what will it change the lift to.
This is simple arithmatic. If the lift at the valve is .540" with a 1.5:1 rocker arm, the cam lobe lift, is .540"/1.5=.360". A cam with a .360" lobe lift times a 1.6 rocker arm ratio (.540 x 1.6 = ) equals a lift, at the valve of .576". Amazing how that works...HUH?

RACE ON!!!
