Next Mod (need Help)

Hey guys, I was wondering if installing a larger roller rocker is worth the money. I know how much money they run but havent checked on the price for install yet. If anyone has any opinouns on this please let me know. Also, does anyone know about how much this install should cost.

THANKS ALOT

If you're looking to improve performance, roller rockers are about as effective as a new catback. Wait, maybe even less. You don't say where you are now, so I can't advise.

I am sorry but I disagree with zeevette. Increasing your rocker ratio from 1.7 to 1.8 will yeild noticeable performance differences. It is like increasing the lift on your cam. I have a baby cam in my car with 1.8 Crane rockers and saw 395 hp with headers. If you go too big of a cam however you can have valve interference. zeevette is correct that simply changing rockers without changing ratios will only yeild some minimal results even though the change could put less stress on your valvetrain.
