Frankly, as long as the total lift at the retainer is at or below the max allowed, why would anybody care what the rocker ratio was? It seems that most factory rockers are well under the advertised ratio (My 5.0 Ford spec is 1.60, but most OE rockers are 1.53-1.54), so if we can have a cam made with more lobe lift to compensate for the crappy rockers, why wouldn`t the opposite be true?
