I now have clearance with under .170 shims, down from .283 earlier. There is usually a shim between the rocker and stand so that accounts for some of that shim pac.

Who thinks Trick Flow will release a race version small block head in about two years with this general port arrangement and Harland Sharp rocker arms with an offset really close to this? Pittsburghracer should get royalties if that happens.
