Magnar rocker/arm kit

I saw a magnum rocker set/arm kit for my 95 in Eckers. It looked like an easier install than roller rockers. Ecklers is claiming 20 hp with it:rolleyes:. Anyone have any experience with them?

Thanks,
Jason

Re: Magnar rocker/arm kit (97Supra)

They are basically worthless.
A real roller rocker will make more power because of reduced friction at the fulcrum.Real roller rockers will reduce oil temperature 15 to20 degrees because of reduced friction.I wouldn't waste my time with fake roller rockers.
You can easily clearance your valve covers for them, and if you don't change ratio's,you don't have to change springs.
