With an adjustable valvetrain, it seems to me like the extra adjustment would take out any pushrod slack and the full lobe lift would still be imparted on the lifter and pushrod, which would translate to full valve lift.

It has been a long day. But isn't the difference in lift the difference in the radius of the base circle?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
