The factory rocker arms are rated at 1.5 to 1. That would put the valve lift for your cam at .420/.435.

To get accurate ratios it is best to setup and measure the actual lift at the valve stem or retainer with a dial indicator and magnetic base.

Many stock arms are off and there a ton of rebuilt arms with variances, along with different ratio aftermarket arms.
