Default EG's Mod Addiction....

OK, so even though I have no 2nd gear because my last mod (shift kit install) went wrong, I still needed a "mod fix"....

My Mod Addiction continues..

Got the Harland Sharp Roller Rockers yesterday and installed them. Seat of the Pants say there is some HP gain, but that could just be my imagination. Harland Sharp tech support estimate 15-20rwhp gain with the mods I have

When next I dyno it, I will find out

Here are some pix of EG's latest Mod Addiction

Modding is a addiction for sure, only to be slowed down by the depth of the billfold. Those are sure some fancy looking rockers there.

Yea Stephen, it's a shame to have something that 'purdy' and then have to cover them up.
I'm very interested in the hosepower gains and will be anxiously awaiting results!
Looking forward to seeing you and "Grond" this weekend at Carlisle!

Straightforward "Remove and Replace". Remove coilpacks, remove valve cover, remove stock rockers, replace with HS roller rockers in pairs, torque to specs, check preload, add Mobil 1 from squirtcan so that they do not start up "dry", and then button everything up.

That's it.

Took me about an hour - and most of that time was trying to avoid having to remove the alternator to get at the coil pack bolt underneath it (got the bolt and did not have to touch the alternator)

As MAJ Z06 said, one of the easiest HP mods. The jury's out if I made any gains yet. I'll find out when I dyno it.
