I beleive this is the cam:
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku
As far asusing 1.7 ratiorockers with this cam theintake lift would be .530" and exhaust .541". This would be fine but with stock pistons this may cause you some piston to valve clearance issues. I have personally used this cam with 1.6 rockers, stock pistons and had no probelms.It hada goodsound and good performance. Iwould callTrick Flow and ask which valve springs they reccomend for this. Make sure and check your springinstalled height before you call because that is going to be their first question.

Id expect 250-275 with your setup, that cam and steeda aregood cams you cant go wrong with either and are affordable,unless you want to spend money on a custom.
