Not sure exactly what you wanna' know. But if a cam is advertised as .500 lift with 1.6 rockers, you can divide .500 by 1.6 to find out the cams lobe height. In this case it will be .313. If you wanted to know how much lift you'd get with 1.72 rockers on the same cam, you'd multiply .313 by 1.72 which come out to .538.

Get it?
