Roller Rockers?

NYC1 · 04-23-2002, 03:22 PM

I'm thinking of getting roller rockers if there worth it. Is it a good investment, and what size? 1.6, 1.7? what types of gains should I expect?

Thanks

seeing that you have the gt-40 heads and no cam. i would say go with 1.7RR. it will give you just a little more lift. thats what im running and i really like the combo.

take care,

go with 1.7's unless you plan on ever getting a cam for it.

They are good with a stock cam, or a mild one like the B303 I have. But they do cause more stress on the valvetrain.

Most cam companies tell you the lift with 1.6 rockers and thats what they are originally designed for.

If I had to do it over again, I'd get 1.6's and just go a little more aggressive on the cam.

hope this helps,

Get 1.6's, so you can build on them in the future with a bigger cam
