So, are they measuring lifter dia. or are the .842 guys using .875 and larger stuff?

During a tear down are lifter diameters measured?

I use 1.7 ratio in an engine that calls for 1.75. The difference has been made up through the cam lobe. Lift at valve checks about .007" under my max allowed.
I have twice asked NHRA about this. As mentioned, they're concern was higher ratio rocker, and of course the actual lift measured at the valve.

just my experience... which is limited
