Stock NPI cams in PI head?

[96SOHC]

Has anyone tried or attempted this yet? You would lose some of the lift (.480/.480 NPI vs. .535/.505 PI) but gain in the duration department (204/208 NPI vs. 192/184 PI). And aren't the higher duration cam numbers (like Comp Cams) causing a lot of folks PTV clearance issues? Might make a great mild street combination setup and NPI cams are plentiful! I believe the base circle size is the same because people put PI cams in NPI heads all the time...anyone tried it the other way around? Thoughts?

My info is: the npi and pi have essentially the same duration, about 190 at .050.
The PIs have more lift.

Rio96,
The information I posted on the NPI/PI cam lift and duration came from SHM new book...I can only assume this information is correct. Anybody have additional sources for information on duration?
