I dont know if this will help you, but you should be at real close to .530" lift with 1.7's. Dont know how much lift you can get before you have to fly cut your pistons.

i figured that out. but i need to know if i will have to cut or not. does anyone know who to call. motorsport has no ******* clue....

I know 86' are not fly cut. I have no idea what 85's are. I would just stick with the 1.6's sence your running the E cam. It could make more trouble than its worth
