Great cause I wasn't really talking in reference to your post. Just stating my opinion on the topic at hand. Now remove under garment from bottom and proceed.

I think you're actually talking about shimming the HLA because you have a small base circle cam and you want to maintain the stock lifter preload.
No I will not be changing my rocker ratio by shimming it. I was saying that I need to shim them HLA so I maintain the same amount of contact with the cam follower, or as you said, keep the stock HLA preload.
I was just stating that cam regrinds don't change the rocker ratio. I've seen that brought up before (it'll throw off my rocker ratio, change the angle), which if the HLA is shimmed properly, it will not. Just trying to squash a theory.

Nobody cares anymore about whats good, better, best, or even worse anymore, all they care about is how "cheap" the price is.
I agree, sometimes the R&D is difficult to justify when some knock-off company can offer some piece of shit product for 1/4 the price. Thats why you need testing and concrete numbers for everything in this day and age.
