WOW, EG! Those rockers are beautiful! Great Job! What an outstanding mod! 
Gee, EG,
By the look of your avatar, it appears that you are quite an amazing, if not, rare breed of an intense and fearsome custom mechanic: Scraped knuckles, hair standing, club and wrench weilding, green boxers (probably the wedgey kind), C5 exhaust sniffing, war painted over in 5W30 with our favorite Gorilla White Snot glue for the added racing stealth nasal stripes appeal, and, of course, neon lit and all. So, good buddy, don't you ever change. We love you just the way you are. And, thank you for always inspiring all of us at the CF forum.
Best Wishes to You Always,
Eden

Actually, my avatar is a primitive HeadHunter from Papua New Guinea 
That's a bone in his nose, he's wearing a kirtle (or skirt
), and that's a medicine stick in his hand to ward off evil spells

But it IS rather funny watching him stand on a 3/8" ratchet wearing a sportcoat trying to loosen lug nuts.

With your mods, it is a rather expensive option($400) So unless you are getting a high lift cam (G5X-3 or bigger) you don't really gain much in valvetrain stability.

I was thinking along the same lines, with a stock motor there is probably minimal gains, but with a cam etc.. the rockers will probably compliment nicely.Good luck at the Dyno Stephen, hope you get the results you are looking for.

I'll predict somewhere between 1 and 5 hp. Sometimes it's difficult to duplicate identical conditions for a dyno run though, what with different temps, air density, etc. Let us know what you get.
