Re: cam ratio w/ 1.6 rr

take your lift, divide by stock ratio its rated at (1.5 in this case) and then multiply by your new ratio (1.6) = new lift.

duration will increase a bit as well as a side effect of increasing lift. I do not know any mathematical way to find out however. its not much increase.

.482/.496 w/ 1.6rr's

so + how much increase in duration is a good guess.
