Comp shows lobes in the mid 240's with like .385-.389 lift, which puts me at .654 minus lash with 1.7's, which I think would be better than the .616 1.6's would result in. Im basically wondering why very few people go to a 1.7 unless its a pretty wild combo in Mopar land. Are there any downfalls? Harder to make the valve wear right? More sideloading on the guides? Alot of the new LSX based stuff runs ALOT of Rocker Arm ratio, as well as SB Ford stuff. I realize its completely different, but im just wondering why I couldnt take advantage of the same. Is it just that none of the "basic" aftermarket options are sold that way for Mopar guys? I realize going to T&D's or similar is alot different than ordering pre-boxed Cranes. 11.48 @ 120 with a 1.80 60' 318, stock 1.88 heads, stock 904, Pump Gas, 13 lbs of boost. 9.94 @ 134, 318 on pump gas, 14 lbs w/ Eddies, transbrake 727, 3600 lbs, 3.54 gear and 28's.
