Default Re: ls6 cam

There seems to be some minor differences in the advertised lift for the 143 cam. Some places I have read say .500 and the Crane info says .520. All the techy stuff I have read says BB motors respond well to more lift, especially with a good set of heads. Wouldn't it make sense to have a little more lift and keep the duration about the same? Thinking about building a 427 engine for a project and using the 143 cam, 12 to 1 comp, 074 aluminum heads, etc. Based on the input here about this cam it should be a winner. Comments??
