.515 lift is the MAXIMUM unless you fly-cut the pistons. Required clearance
piston to valve is .060 intake and .100 exhaust. Beware! With 1.7 Roller
rockers the max lift is .484 on a cam that was designed for use with 1.6
rockers. My cam was a .529 lift and I had to sell my 1.6 rockers and get a
set of 1.5's in order to get a .496 lift. Also remember that degreeing the
cam is very critical when dealing with clearances this close!

I also belive that the duration of my cam (220 int. / 225 exh.) is at an
absolute maximum for the aftermarket Mopar computer on OBD-1 systems, but
can be done if you use a set of 24lb injectors. If you are even thinking of
doing this on an OBD-2 system, well, all I can say is good luck!
