what rockers?

I am looking to buy some rockers. money isnt an option. im looking for the most gains and for now im going to keep my stock ratio 1:5. would 1:52 fit? if so that too. anyone have any ideas? i was looking at some comp rockers and crane. but what you guys think?

Re: what rockers?

just wondering why you wouldn't go with 1.6RR. the LT4 spings and all of its accessories can be beat rediculously cheap. but either way, comp pro mags seem the way to go, i will be changing my 1.6 r from the roller tip to full roller pretty soon

Re: what rockers?

I'm doing a 1.6RR swap myself. I'm just waiting on a spring compressor tool to get started.

All you will need will be retainers, locks (aka keepers), and new valve springs if you go with self aligning rockers. If you go with non-self aligning, you will need hardened pushrods and guideplates as well.

This site has a great step by step of what all is involved

spring locks and retainers. i ended up buying that stuff plus guideplates for like 80 bucks or something. and a valve spring tool if you do it yourself, make sure you get a quality one, i can safely say the screw type from checker is not adequate.
