I am putting it out as an option that would likely be very close to the proposed LS2 cam without pulling all the parts needed to do a cam swap. I do not see rockers alone getting 50hp. Heads, LS6 intake, and headers would be an interesting test. Honestly I don't think I've read of someone who has done the rockers on that cam.


Higher ratio rockers are not a common mod as most just go ahead and swap to a bigger cam. Further, if you are building in steps to get to an end goal, cams are generally designed to be used with stock rockers.

I used google to search the forum
