Divide 1.85/1.70 which = 1.088. Multiply your advertised lift by 1.088 and that is your 'new' lift...

Its a hell of a lot easier to change rockers and springs, than to swap cams.
I have to call bullshit on the advertised Horsepowe gains of 20-30 rear wheel hp from just rockers. I've been working on engines and cars and trucks and etc., for many years now and I've never seen a rocker swap produce that kind of power. I would have to see they Dyno numbers and I'd have to be there in person too!

you gain by adding .035 lift to a cam. so that small amount will help some but for the cost and effort not worht it onebit
I agree with you "Hero"......it's about the same as actually believing that a throttle body spacer actually gives you 20 hp
