it'll increase lift .032 and in a round about way increase duration, good way to start a lot of arguments is asking that question, but you already knbow that i;'m sure from doing a search before you asked right? all in all you won't notice any real power gains with BS dyno

Send a message via AIM to vejatabul
it is very simple to calculate what your new lift on the cam will be. simply take your current lift, divide by 1.5, them multipy times 1.6.
