Achieving desired SS valve lift.....

While Im a budget racer as well, I have to agree with what others have said.... Do not waste any time at all with stud mount rockers... You really need to figure in a shaft system... Particuarly with the engine size you have chosen... You are going to need to turn some good RPM.

We can argue on the ratios... But Im sure we can all agree, you need to have a shaft system and forget about stud mounted rockers....

By the time you get done with roller rockers, locks, stud girdles, you are going to be approaching 60% of the cost of a nice used Jesel setup. And that additional 40% is money well spent.
