Default What is the maximum safe valve lift
I have a 70 302 with factory pistons with stock valve reliefs cut in them. I have Edelbrock Performer RPM heads and a Crane flat tappet cam that has .488 lift and 108 LSA.

I think I may have a lobe problem (another whole enigmatic story) and so I am thinking I need a new cam. I am thinking of a roller cam with 107 LSA.

What do you all believe is the maximum safe lift I can go to on the new cam with my piston/head combination ?

Thanks
Ed
