I read an article where they installed roller rockers and got 9hp/9 torque but that was on a 300 horse engine. I think the guys would be able to help more if you listed your current mods. eg - exhaust, headers, intake/carb, ignition, etc

You can probably spend your money better on something else unless you already have loads of bolt-ons. Roller rockers will help to smooth rev and maybe smooth out the power curve. I remember thats what the article said. You may or may not notice a difference in my opinion

well, i bought it used from some guy who had already done a bunch of work to it i know i got an 800 cfm carb, an intake that is too small for the carb, i got 1 5/8" long tube headers, dual side exhaust (looks f_ _ _ing sweet!!!!!) there is an improved cam, i got no idea what brand or model or anything, and all the interior parts i got no idea about, i havent opened her up yet, i havent got it dyno tested either, but she pulls good, id say comparably to my 95z, ummm, i dont know much else for two reasons, im not that good with cars yet, and i have only had it for about a month, well maybe that will help you guys out, thanks in advance
