Roller Rockers

I currently have small block with 1.6 roller rockers, & 512/512 lift on my cam. If I switch to 1.72 roller rockers what would my lift become and how much horsepower is gained. Thanks, Jay.

.512 divided by 1.6 = actual cam lift (.320) X 1.72 = new lift .550

Horsepower would be uh........ More!

How high is your piston dome?

If you are tight, this may be a problem.

Just a thought.

Hope this helps
