Default .514/.544 224/230@112 WILL THIS WORK?

i just want to know if this would work..my cam unfortunately is a 1.7 cam,but i already spent the big money for the D.S.S 1.6's before i bought the cam.
what i wanted to do was just install 1.7's on the exhaust side. or would using on both sides
give me more power?
the only other option is install a custom cam. whoever knows there cams give me some advice.

Sounds like a good idea never heard of it being used but if you give it a try let me know how it turns out.

the .514/.544 is with 1.7 rr's? If so, then with the 1.6 rr it would be approximately .502/.525 lift. If you split the rockers they way you want it would be .502/.544. IMO, I would use the new 1.6's you just got...or exhange for 1.7's DSS allows you.

no with 1.7's it's .544/.544 i am using 1.6's right now so it's .512/.512 or .514/.514? i figured it to be one of those.

sounds like a mess....return all that stuff..use the 1.6 rocker and find a cam for 1.6's no custom cam needed

I didn't know you had already calculated the lift with the offset rockers to get the .514/.544. I would stick with the 1.6's you have now. Are they hurting performance. Spending $300 just to get and additional .30 lift might not be worth it. Changing from 1.6 to 1.7 makes a noticeable difference on a smaller cam with like stock lift.

it's all been on my car for a year performance is great.just seeing if i can get more out of it. 318/328rwhp is what it's making now,and i didn't think it was bad? i'm just going to leave it alone,and get a s/c!
