Manufacturer claims (and vendor claims) are always suspect, IMHO. Think "throttle body bypass" and "performance hood seal" as good examples.
And while did mod does have a legitimate use - allowing me to raise my rev limit to 7000rpm, beefing up my valvetrain and avoiding the dreaded 'needle bearing' fiasco - I'll wait until I dyno it to see if there were any real gains.

My thinking is if rockers were a hp adder, even as slight as a UD pulley,..why have I never seen much discussion about them either here or at LS1Tech?
I never stop doing my research, I just had to post as this claim struck me as odd,

I agree. One tuner I spoke to told me "no gains" and yet another tuner said "small gains - 5-10rwhp"
So if my rwhp and rwtq goes up, then we will have the answer.
