> your lift is fine, but the duration could be stepped up since you have such a high compression ratio. you could use what you have now just fine but your leaving some performance on the table. bigger cams lower the dynamic compression ratio, and the only way to compensate that is to boost the static compression ratio up a few points. since your over 12 to 1, i can see a slightly bigger cam being a good match for that motor. take advantage of the compression and run a nice cam for it.
