You would be surprised how much lift you can get away with. I am running a .566/.566 lift cam with 2.02 1.60 valves and stock pistons.

The B cam sounds like a good fit though.

Dark-
You are going to be my new best friend when it comes to putting my new heads on, but I will save that for another thread.

goodyear1984-

I am running the E7's, which I think were shaved a slight bit, but that is slipping me right now. Anyhow, I have 1.7 rollers with the TFS-1 cam which is .499/.510 with a set of 1.6 rockers. No clearance issues here.

I will say that I have read that certain cams favor nitrous more then others. Since I no very little more on the subject, I can’t offer much more there.

yea i was thinking of the f cam but i wanted a little less duration but same lift...and i relized that i have a set of comp cam 1.7s and if i get the b cam ill have 2 degrees less duration but the 1.7 will bring the lift up to .510 and with the heads being ported and the intake i think ill be fine i just want the rough idle but i am not willing to loose performance for it...does any one live in new york and have a 70mm t-body for sale?im in rochester

It's not the lift that causes problems, it's the duration.

It's not the lift that causes problems, it's the duration.

Actually it's the lift, duration and timing of the valve events that cause problems. There's more than one piece to the puzzle.

Well, you got two out of three right but lift has NOTHING to do with it.

How can lift not have anything to do with it?

I am going to give you the benifit of the doubt and hope you are drunk.

I have installed about 20 or so cams and checked clearances and I have learned you can get too much of a good thing. wether it be lift, duration or cam timing.
