What's max lift on a stock 1.5 rocker

Can it handle the .450 lift of my cam or do I need long-slots..How about the stock pushrods also. Will they take the lift?

.450 lift should be fine. I used some stock ones with a .460 lift cam once. I see your from KY. What part? Have you heard of the Heartland Camaro Club?

there is no real max lift with factory rockers, but it does get to the point where having them would be pretty foolish. actually factory rockers aren't all that good anyway so for any sort of preformance application you ought to consider up grading, even to cheap roller tip rockers

Just a little trivia...

The factory rocker ratio is really 1.46, not 1.5

Our club is out of Paducah. I go to Owensboro quite often to visit family. My wifes cousin is a Mopar man in Owensboro. We mouth each other all the time. Anyway, our club just put on a muscle car show today in Paducah. It was a fun time and got lots of give aways. We meet every second Monday of the month. We'd love to have new members. I'll give more details if interested in the club.
