Take your current lift and multiply it by 1.06666666' for example if you were at .500 then multiply it by 1.0666666 and you will be at .5333333....

generally it increases lift in the .030-.040 range so the answer would be close

Divide the lift stated with the cam by 1.5.  Then, multiply that number by 1.6.  Then you have your new lift.  This is the way the manufacturer would compute it.  KillerMopar just showed you the "easy" way. :grinyes:

500/1.5=333.33  333.33 x 1.6 = 533.33
