Larry's lift figures are "Net", subtract the lash .024"/.026" from the gross lift of .560"/.580" and you get .536"/.554". This is what the engine really sees.

HD, Those specs came from a 1991 edition of the Chevrolet Power Manual. David is right, those valve lift specs are "net", not gross.

What static compression did the L-88 use? That's a honker of a cam and I'd like to build one with a solid roller and about 12:1. I think I can do it with less duration, more driveability and more power.

There are 2 the 535 closed chamber cam that has been discussed and the ZL-1 L-88 180 open chamber cam. If you have enough compression the 535 can be run on the street but the 180 is almost useless for anything includeing serious bracket racing.

The L-88 was both 12.5 to 1 and 12 to 1 CR. depending on years. I think the higher number was due to closed chambered heads and the lower number was with open chambered heads.
