1.8 rollar rockers?

does anyone know where I can get some good info on crane 1.8 rollar rockers, I want to know the pros and cons of this type of set up, and also some installation guides. I have a stock cam now, but plan on up gradeing in the summer to something more agressive. what kind of horse power gains would I see. I'm also planning on changing valve springs at the same time.

If you are getting a new cam, you really won't need the Crane 1.8s ... just get the cam in the lift you want. There is some potential with the roller tips, but not enough to justify the cost of the Cranes or any other roller tip for that matter.

Now, I do have the Cranes ... but here's why. I got a Hot Cam for $180 and a new set of heads that flowed well beyond the lift of the Hot Cam. So I wanted some extra lift and I was able to find a complete set of Cranes for $300.

So my combo is a Hot Cam, Cranes 1.8 rockers and hardened push rods and TEA S2 heads. Right now I'm not completely tuned, but my base dyno put down 402 rwhp and 388 rwtq - about average for H/C and I probably could have achieved those same results with a cam that has a lift in the 555 to 570 range.

Good Luck
