I plan on using a set with 1;5 ratio on a 512 stroker engine with a mild .530" .540" lift /235* on 114 c/l hyd cam. 150 on the seat and 350 on the nose with 6500 max rpms.. kept the whole top end with hughes for compatibility ..pretty much street use. thanks in advance !!

The (new) version I bought 2 years or so ago require LOTS of shims on the rocker shaft and it doesn't look very professional...
