We'd need a bit more info.

If you had the cam manufacturers recommended pressures that would help immensely.

Also need to know the installed height and whether or not it's a double or triple spring.

Plus any info on the dimensions of your retainers is needed.

1.95/1.400 is only .550 lift

is .550lift what the cam is or are you planning ahead for .700?
