I hate to see anyone waste money. The rockers will provide NO noticeable power. They may help lower the oil temps a couple of degrees. A high buck "Tru Roller", double row timing chain will add less than the roller rockers. If you find slop in the timing chain, or it has enough miles to warrant changing, a stocker or a double row set up for a truck, will be more than enough.

RACE ON!!!

you could go with a 1.6 ratio for a little more lift, but again - you won't really be "feeling it" in the seat of your pants...

I'd go with a set of LT headers before RR's you'll like the gain better
