Default roller rocker/cam install?

Does anyone know of a good tutorial on installing cam/roller rockers on our LT1 . I've never done these before.

Can you do the rockers first and the cam at a later date? I'm thinking about just doing a gm hot cam and roller rockers for dependability. This is probably all I will do to this car for a few extra horsepower.

Thanks in advance
alan

You can, but I would stay with stock lift or 1.52 so you can install a more aggressive cam later.

Thanks Vader...thats good stuff! Cam is Quite involved. When I'm totally ready I'll need to partner up with someone in my area who is more experienced like yourself.

Are the rockers easier?
