here let me counter that build it into the cam theory. if you do it right, you'll do better. vinci put their theory to the test. and here's the results. 03 corvette auto.
comp cams 220/224 .581/.581 115LSA with the 1.7 accelerated lift rockers vs vinci 056 216/224 .551/.551 (1.7 ratio) 113 LSA with 1.8 accelerated lift rockers. which brings total lift to .583/.583.

You are also gaining Duration with 1.8 ratio rockers. There are alot of other factors involved in adding ratio than just the lift. There is absolutly no need to add extra strain to the valve train if you are doing a cam swap you can build all you need into the cam and keep the stock ratio. Changing ratio is for those who want more without having to change a cam.
