While the total lift at the valve retainer would check correct, the ratio would be incorrect if it were to be checked.

The difference is you have used a rocker that has altered the rate of lift as the valve is opening and closing from the original rocker arm ratio spec but hid it by meeting the total valve lift spec once the cam reaches max lift.

(Disclaimer: Opinions expressed by me on this forum are exactly that, my opinions.)
I am no "engine master" by any means, but is there any real power by doing that? and isn't it the same thing as the way stocker cams are ground anyway? the dwell cam verse the rpm cam?

Is there any dyno proof? just curious.....
