PS.The energizer rockers are crap. Even Crane will tell you the life expectancy of these is low.Get your money back if there new and spend the extra couple bucks to go with a nice set. If you want to stick with crane, they sell a gold race set that are reliable.

![]() Sure there is better rockers out there, but i disagree with usmc.
The crane 1.7's are fine, they are actually designed for reliability and daily use. I laugh at some of my friends that I can beat everytime with their high dollar comp cam rockers, including stud mount's.... I will eventually go with those scorpion rockers if mine do wear out, which im not seeing any noticeable wear, and i have alot of miles on mine. I mean everything has a low life expectancy if you race hard, and frequently. Btw, If I had a nice stroker motor like usmc's, of course I would have some stud mount crane golds. ![]()

but your looking at a possible 300 rwhp through a 5spd, I never dynoed yet, but you should make little more power than my combo below.

![]() yes i have upgrade my springs they good up to a .600 lift and I also have suspension work and 3.73 gears,bbk cold air intake and I also having the corba intake port match to the heads. 70mm throttle body and rite now the heads have 1.94 intake valves and 1.54 exhaust valves. So im hoping to see on motor at least some mid to low 11's. Thats what I'm hoping to see and I also have 1.6 ratio roller rockers to go with it....

![]() hydroc, unless your car is real light, or you can cut a 1.4 60ft, low 11's is tough to do on a n/a 302, unless your reving to 7K+ rpms, And the suspension has to be decked out.
For me to even see low 12's with my combo, I would have to see a low 1.6 60 ft or better. good luck, keep it updated.

![]() hrdroc i would while your at it put on a mass air meter and c&l power pipe with that throttle body, i had a cold air kit on my car then i put the power pipe on with the mass air and i love it, just a suggestion.

![]() yeah i wanted to use 1.7's but by my lift being 499/510 with 1.6 rockers 1.7's i think is going to be too much and i might not have the clearance i need but u should see some good numbers

![]() I never knew rockers had "dowels".?
hydroc, I heard of people using 1.7's with that cam, and stock pistons, but i would do some more research.

![]() Yeah I know I called Trick Flow and they was telling me that they know 1.6's would work and will give you that lift of the cam. But 1.7's will take up the lift .030 on the intake and the exhaust being intake .499 to .529 and exhaust being .510 to .540... So they told me that I had to check the clearance and myself and go from there. But I was hoping that someone would know and would be able to tell me for sure if they will work....

![]() What's wrong with your current cobra intake? IMO, for what you have, that's a suffice intake.

![]() LOL, I knew you had to be kiddin around, I was thinking, you must be talking about fulcrum as well, i can see how that would wear down.
Another vote for the cobra, but the typhoon is a good choice, inexpensive, and will flow a little better. Im surprised no one else has chimed in on the tfs/1.7 combo, I know for a fact someone here has used this combo, I remember asking if they would clear since i almost got a tfs1 cam, but instead went with the e-cam, and someone told me they ran this with stock pistons, i know of some guys running an x-cam with stock pistons, yea it's close, one missed shift, and over rev motor, valve meets piston.
