Rockers ratio question

Greetings!


Is it worth installing roller rockers with 1.6:1 ratio on my engine? How much will I gain with that?


My engine configuration is as follows:

Engine:

Chevy SB 383 stroker, Edelbrock RPM AirGap dual plane intake manifold, Dart Iron Eagle Heads with int:2.02 exh:1.60, roller rockers 1.5:1 ratio, carb Mighty Demon 825, Cam: CompCams Extreme Energy XE274H (duration @050: in:230, ex:236, lift in:.490, ex:.490), full length Hooker Headers, HEI ignition, forget pistons, forget crank, forget connection rods...

Tranny: TH-350 with TCI Master Racing Overhaul kit, B&M transpak shift and Adjustable Transmission Modulator Valve, B&M Holeshot 2400 Torque Converter

Rear end: GM 10 bolt, 3.23 gear ratio, Auburn gear Pro series LSD


Looking forward to your kind answers and thank you for your time...

He is new to the board and not from this country.

Give the guy a break as to not being use to the western ways.

Re: Rockers ratio question

I would like to appologize to all for my inexperience and mistakes I have made while posting my questions.

In our country we have sunlight at least six hours earlier than you, but you must keep in mind the 10 years that we are running behind... A little joke -

I have a few problems with my english and I will do whatever you want me to, just say. All I want is some information regarding my problems. I cannot thank you enough for what you've done so far.

I could have asked him to put it on "3rd Gen Tech", but given the fact that he's coming to us from Slovenia, I thought maybe we could cut him some slack and show a bit of hospitality.

My apologies if this offended any of the "Advanced Tech" regulars.... but please try and understand my thought process.

You're cool, Fred!

Welcome _BANDIT_.

Yes the extra lift will help, but I'm not sure it will be worth the expense. If you are able to sell your 1.5 roller rockers to someone else to help offset the cost of the 1.6 rockers, it might be worth the money.
