Cool Lightning Cam Lift?

What is the stock cam lobe lift on the Lightning? I show a stock 5.4L is: Exhaust Left = 0.260
Right =0.259

Intake =0.2593
Thanks for you input!

and 13.75 mm =.541 ????????????

Wow! If your conversion is correct, that is quit a bit of difference from a stock 5.4! I just went to a conversion calculator and you are exactly right. Thanks again!

HI!... I was at my dealers the other day and asked about cam lift on the 5.4. I was told 0.512 intake and 0.541 exhaust. They also showed me on the computer that the reg 5.4's and the LIGHTNING 5.4's use the exact same camshaft profile. This is for the "99" and up reg 5.4's. The pre "PI" 5.4's have a smaller grind.
