Small Block & Big Block Chevy Specific - needed some cam secrets

for a zz502...stock ones kinda tame...how much lift can i get away with

I think the limiting factor may end up being the rocker arms and their mounting system.

Thinking about changing camshafts?I assume you have a 502-502.We recommend between .555" and .580" lift witout changing anything.We have seversal camshfts,but that depends on your application,gears,ect......!
You need to know that anything over .580"lift you must check for lifter and guide bar interfence.The factory hydraulic roller lifer will accept a maxium of .555 to.580 lift on a stock base circle.If you want more lift than this and retain the factory guide bars and retainers you must purchase the CRANE replacement hydraulic roller lifters.We have a camshft that is .610"~.632"lift but then you must go to a different lifter.But the GM springs on that engine are go up to .650" lift.Hope that helps ya! :hail:
