Less lobe for the same lift makes more power. Read up here Why in the he!! do people buy 1.5 rockers? • Speed Talk

OK Ray, I can see that I'm gonna have trouble with you on most everything I post and that you are either F-BIRD-88 or you are cozy with him. Most of these fellows who ask for help here are building a mild to moderate street motor, they're on a budget and cannot afford to replace parts regularly like a dedicated racer can. Therefore, there is no reason to build a motor for them right up against the wall at the risk of fraggin' something. If you want to use 1.6 rockers on a SBC motor and you're spending your own money, knock yourself out, but I will continue to err on the side of caution for these younguns who ask for our help. 10-12 hp is not something that a fellow would feel in the seat of his pants anyway in a street motor, and there are no time slips to compare. Get a grip.

Ha, Just realized you the same person from the other thread. No wonder you think I'm "after" you. I don't know f88.

What I do know is a little better rocker ration is better than a bigger lobe any day of the week when it comes to valve train stability. I'm not looking for an argument if you can't trust cam designers.

Take care. I got my grip
