Michael,

People often seem to overlook the main performance benefit of increasing th=
e rocker ratio.=C2=A0 That is the increase in valve velocity.=C2=A0 The vel=
ocity of a flat tappet is limited by it's diameter. If you grind the cam lo=
be for too much velocity the contact patch will move out past the edge of t=
he lifter and things will self destruct.=C2=A0 So tappet velocity is limite=
d.=C2=A0 However, since tappet velocity times rocker ratio equals valve vel=
ocity, increasing the rocker ratio will increase valve velocity.

First decide what will be the optimum valve lift for your engine then divid=
e by rocker ratio to determine the net cam lift needed to achieve that valv=
e lift.=C2=A0 Yes, you can grind the cam with a large enough lobe to reach =
desired lift using stock rockers but you are limited in how fast you can op=
en the valve.=C2=A0 Now if you grind the cam with less lift then use 1.65:1=
 rockers to reach that same desired valve lift you will be moving the valve=
 about 13% faster. That means it will be open further in a given period of =
time.=C2=A0 Graph it out and you will see a big difference.=C2=A0 Valve vel=
ocity is a huge factor in performance.=C2=A0=20

I can understand why someone who has tried to use high ratio rockers with a=
 cam that was already maxing out the valve lift with stock rockers would de=
cide that high ratio does not work.=C2=A0 Valve lift was already at max. In=
creasing it further may be a detriment.=C2=A0 If duration was also maxed ou=
t for reasonable torque then the increase in lift during the overlap period=
 caused by the increase in rocker ratio may reduce the low end torque.=C2=
=A0 Properly applied with the right cam profile, high ratio rockers enable =
performance that is just not achievable with stock rockers.

thanks Richard

  I disagree with your comment about grinding stock cams. You cannot always
get the lift desired as in some cases, you would end up grinding below the
core of shaft. Again, this was a real common problem with early 2000 & 2500
cams , which is whey they were often welded on the nose as part of the
modification process. In later production, the factory used a larger
diameter core , presumably to aid stiffness, but that gives a bit more
flexibility when regrinding.

You correctly point out that as you increase the lifter diameter then the
peak velocity can also change. if you run the maths, a  change of 0.100"
in lifter diameter (a lot really) gives a 10% increase in acceptable peak
velocity. Changing the lifter diameter is not for the feint-hearted,
especially in a 6 cylinder where the lifter bores are angled to the block
to promote lifter rotation.

It would be good if Geoff Byrne elaborates a bit on his comment

dare I answer this...=20
Do you mean that, with the higher rocker ratio, the valve is moving faster =
in the first part of the opening phase and hence moving slower nearing the =
maximum lift? Suppose the cam lift of both camshafts is such that the maxim=
um lift is 13mm for both the 1.65 and 1.50 ratio and duration at 0.050" is =
240=C2=B0, thus the crank has to move 120=C2=B0 to go from 0.050" lift to m=
aximum lift in both cases. If the valve is opening 13% faster all the way f=
rom 0.050" lift untill maximum lift, the maximum lift will also be 13% high=
er! When an engine is at, say 5000rpm or any other speed, it takes the same=
 time to move 120=C2=B0 (from 0.050" to maximum lift) : the rocker arm rati=
o does not change that and the valve that is opening 13% faster with the 1.=
65 ratio will end at a maximum lift that is also 13% higher.=20

Michael,=20

People often seem to overlook the main performance benefit of increasing th=
e rocker ratio. That is the increase in valve velocity. The velocity of a f=
lat tappet is limited by it's diameter. If you grind the cam lobe for too m=
uch velocity the contact patch will move out past the edge of the lifter an=
d things will self destruct. So tappet velocity is limited. However, since =
tappet velocity times rocker ratio equals valve velocity, increasing the ro=
cker ratio will increase valve velocity.=20

First decide what will be the optimum valve lift for your engine then divid=
e by rocker ratio to determine the net cam lift needed to achieve that valv=
e lift. Yes, you can grind the cam with a large enough lobe to reach desire=
d lift using stock rockers but you are limited in how fast you can open the=
 valve. Now if you grind the cam with less lift then use 1.65:1 rockers to =
reach that same desired valve lift you will be moving the valve about 13% f=
aster. That means it will be open further in a given period of time. Graph =
it out and you will see a big difference. Valve velocity is a huge factor i=
n performance.=20

I can understand why someone who has tried to use high ratio rockers with a=
 cam that was already maxing out the valve lift with stock rockers would de=
cide that high ratio does not work. Valve lift was already at max. Increasi=
ng it further may be a detriment. If duration was also maxed out for reason=
able torque then the increase in lift during the overlap period caused by t=
he increase in rocker ratio may reduce the low end torque. Properly applied=
 with the right cam profile, high ratio rockers enable performance that is =
just not achievable with stock rockers.=20
