Those with 1.7's, what cam?

What cam are you running? Maybe you're running them with better springs on a stock cam...

Anyone have some #'s with them?

Thanks!

I saw where a guy was running them with the hot cam and got good results from them.

since you havent purchased your cam yet, you would be better off to pick a cam that has the amount of lift you want with 1.6 (or better yet 1.5) rockers, rather than to run a 1.7. SBC/LT1's dont have very good geometry when you go to higher rocker ratios.
