    Also a stock rocker will put out about .030 deflection on a LS6 spring, and about .025 on a 105 spring.... which puts a .600 lift back around the 570

    Oh, so it is just a guess.

    Cool.

    No, my precision and lack of ability to test vs a cam/rocker/pushrod was what was limiting me from making specific factual observations. It is not easy to measure things like this in precision +-.005, and frankly it was not needed for what I was trying to prove. all I needed to know was that a 1.6 roller had SIGNIFICANTLY less peak lift than a stock rocker, and that a 1.8 rocker had similar peak lift to a stock rocker.

    I've read your posts,

    So that means everyone has been doing it wrong all these years milling valve guides when running ANYTHING more than .550" lift.

    Guess so.

    You probably do not need clearanced guides with 1.9 rollers on a xp or S1x any more than you need it with stock rockers.
    I just can't see how 1.9 rrs would work with an s1x or xp, especially if we are referring to stock heads. Maybe with stg3 ported heads and 130# springs I can see running 1.8s, but seriously 1.9s??
