The cam would have to be out of the vechicle. If it is a dual pattern cam mark an intake and exhaust lobe. Measure the greatest distance on the lobe (top to bottom, and record. Then measure the smallest distance (side). Subtract the numbers, smallest from largest. Record the result and multipy by your rocker arm ratio, 1.73" is stock BBF. Subtract the amount of lash you run from the lift if it is a mechanical. This should get you pretty close to the lift at the valve.

Sides of lobe. The first calculation will give you lobe lift, and can be referenced in cam catalogs as such.
