Rockers: 1.5 vs 1.6

Yeah. but I'm talking .446 VALVE lift here, so hence would be .670 intake/.670 exhaust cam, with 1.5 rockers. ....I don't see what the base circle has to do with this.
I know what your talking about, .446 lobe lift. You cant raise the lift or it wont fit through the cam bearings, so you have to lower the floor, ie base circle. On a roller, its not an issue, on a FT cam the lobes start looking like roller lobes, very fast rate ramps.
