Duration is also a part of piston to valve clearance. Sure the stage I cam has plenty of clearance on a stock piston, but if you look at the stage II cam with a stock piston it gets real close.
Yes, you are right, it is just thatyou impliedlift as being the factor above.

I got 2.07" down the bore for the TFS-2.

5.0stanger - Sorry to get off-topic. Is that a '93 Reef Blue ride?

I figured I would ask, since it already is heading to off-topic land.
No, it isn't.

CI
N/A?
Road racer?

What were your goals with your car?
89 LX hatch, Street/Strip. Goal is low 13s on motor (stock block and pistons), 12s on 100 shot. 8 - 10 trips to the drag strip a year, no road racing. Like I said, I don't know the reasoning behind his recommendation, but I do trust his opinion. I told him my current combo, and I made the comment that when I blow my 160,000 mile stock block, I would like to use the same cam on a new 331. That's when he advised me to never build a 331, go straight to a 347.
