A5202/5216 lobe on a 108 lsa
That's a .480 and a .490 lift

A 5006 intake a 5136a lobes on a 108 also
That's .486/.514


5443 intake is .485
544 intake is a .509
5445 exhaust is .520
5435 is .485

And that's just flipping through a few pages.

You use the vale lifts the help determine how fast the ramp is
Some motors like using slower ramp speeds like the late model hemi

If I had it ground I would run it as a 5443/5445 108 lsa and if she is a real low compression motor dana few degrees advance.

Other wise leaving it straight up is fine.

We're running 9.5:1 Speed Pro pistons. They do very well on pump gas (Premium), but when the weather gets warm we add a bottle of Octane Booster.

The napa branded octane boosters work rather well at that too.
We use them in some stock Harley's on real hot days. Works well.

I run a tad over 9:1 here too, and it works o.k. on 91 octane.

10.5:1 don't
