Sorry, but that's not true. With a Gen VI cam core ground correctly, you can run up to about .640 lift with the stock Gen VI lifters. I have done it countless times. You just have to check the lifters to be sure they don't come out of the dog bones both in the up and down position. The stock Gen VI lifters are excellent pieces that VERY rarely fail.

Hey thanks fixx for your help.
Well folks back to the drawing board not a 502 but a 496. I was so stoked I just sent the guy a note and told no dice

almost the best to run. = @ camshaft 0.353 lift but you have to run the right grid "base circle" to make it work right. plus I run 60 psi plus for oil pressure stock pump that's all you need.
