Some articles have stated 2-4 degree increase in duration due to the increased time the valves are off of the seat.

You might consider testing a valve spring or two to make sure that they can handle the increased lift. It made enough of a difference on my 72 Nova w/383 a few years back and I lost performance until they were upgraded (of course that was a Chevy, live and learn).

I couldn't tell any difference at all when mine had an E cam in it between 1.6's and 1.7's.
