Key Insights

Have about 100 other Gum, Peanut vending machines and trade... Roll oversteer feels twitchy. There are lots of "rules of thumb" about what should be parallel or pointing up or down. Mostly it's all bunk. Just do the calculations and design a geometry for the handling characteristics you want.

Final Thoughts

Some adjustability is always a good thing as well. Rickybop ALLIANCE MEMBER from the thumb of Michigan Huh... it's a 2-door. What is it? a good rule of thumb is, whatever you can add going from 1.5 to 1.65 rockers, i.e. around 10% more lift, you can generally grind into the cam itself for hydro flat tappet.

then if you run the same 1.65 rockers, you can add that much more again with rocker ratio. so...in case of a Pontiac V8, a .470" lift cam can become a .510" lift cam, then ... The "rule of thumb" is that there is NO rule of thumb for these questions.
