Yes. I'd feel bad about sniping it at the last second but I see you were sniping too! :D

I'm not entirely sure which car I will put it in. It might be overkill for my 544's engine with my 1.6:1 roller rockers (not installed yet), so it might go into the 1800E's bone stock B20E. I'll have to ponder the total lift on an R cam with those higher ratio rockers.

An R cam supposedly has .456 inches of lift through a stock 1.45:1 rocker - that would be about .503 inches with the rollers. I'll have .469 inches with the current 'D' grind with the roller rockers. .503 might be a little too much on stock valve springs, I'm not sure. I'll be getting a new head next year from somewhere (possibly KGTrimning) so I might wait until then to use it.
