this is why I only recommend cams with lift based on 1.6's....so there is room for more lift with just a rocker arm adjustment.....I would at least put them on the exhaust

why don't you call the experts at Comp Cams and tell them what your combo is now and what you want to do with it via a new cam and see what they recommend for it that would maximize things for you, maybe you could use the 1.6's on the intakes and the 1.7 on the exhausts if they spec the cam grind out for that.
