If you've ever checked geometry with a few different brands on the same engine, than dynoed them, you would be suprised.
What were the results of your testing? Who's rockers worked well compared against who's rockers?

Re: rocker arm ratio

I got into it with the Crane guy on LS1tech about those things....

Basically they just lower the pushrod mounting point on the pushrod side of the rocker.... makes a different path for the roller to sweep on the valve and a "faster" opening... I guess, not a huge fan of them, BUT on a small cam motor they would work really well.
