Cam card states what ratio rocker arm to use. Divide lift by 1.6, multiply by 1.7 to get lift for 1.7 ratio.

You can use any cam you want with 1.7 rockers, as long as you have sufficient piston to valve clearance. I've used 1.7 rockers to get .529 lift, and more recently .610 lift.

Just avoid 'stacking' the valve spring also.
Meaning; make sure the coil's aren't coming togather when the valve is all the way open.......
