Default SLP Rocker Arm Kit, 1.85 Ratio, 1997-200

Anyone have any experience with replacing the rocker arms to change the valve lift? Ecklercorvette.com sells a kit. New to Corvettes, and have been out of the performance car realm for a long time. (1980's) http://www.ecklerscorvette.com/corve...2001-2004.html

Unfortunately, what they don't tell you is that you will need better valve springs as well. With the LS1, you might get by with the stiffer LS6 spring but for the $700 the rockers and springs will cost, there are better ways to spend the money and get better results depending on your current setup/transmission.

Thanks. I can see how you would need stiffer springs. Like most things, if it sounds too good to be true it is.
