Re: roller rockers?

You would use the higher ratio to get more out of it. There is no reason not to, with a cam of that nature.

Re: roller rockers?

Are your springs set up to handle the extra lift? That'd be my first question.

Even with 1.6 rockers.....lift would be in the .570" range, I believe. Not that much of an issue but deffinately too much for old, worn out stockers.

I would use the Comp Cams Ultra Pro-Magnums in a 1.6 ratio.

And as Bersaglieri alluded to....get some new/decent springs that can handle .600" of lift.

Re: roller rockers?

The 306 is not the best cam choice for stock heads. There are much better choices.

The 306 is an oldie but a goodie but isn't my favorite. I would pick a more advanced custom grind ANY day of the week when used with ported heads. Typically the two big porters AI and LE will customize a cam for their heads.

If you're sticking with stock heads I'd go with the 226/234 from AI. There's a few guys putting down 350+ cam-only and one even touching 360+ with that grind.
