Would 1.8 or 1.85 rockers help my current setup?
I have a 98 with the 02 LS6 cam (the one with the .550 lift), ls6 intake, headers, offroad ypipe and 3500 stall.
Anyhow, I was wondering what kind of gains I'd see with rockers and which ones to get. I have the comp 918 springs too.
I read that the slp 1.85's would give me .600 lift and wonder if I'd have any valve clearence issues or "valve float".
I have the rev limit set at 6500 and the shift points set at 6250.
I run 12.20 now and would like to get into the 11's off the bottle.
Any input is appreciated.
Anyone have rockers on a ls6 cam? Thanks.

Well, I'm not sure if you would see too much gain off of the difference.
If you swap out the Heads with a set of Stage II's and get a set of rear-end gears like the Z06 then you should be able to hit the 11's.
Careful with NOS. The wrong A/F NOS mixture could have bad effects. Proper tuning on a dyno would be the best thing overall - esp. if you change heads, etc.
Keep us posted on the results!
Btw, post a pic of your Vette! :D

I'd like to get gears some day; but really don't want to shell out that much money right now. I can pretty much do anything with an fbody; but damn, these vette's are completely different in the tranny and rearend.
I want to get some feedback before I spend $425 for rocker arms. They're a mod that I can easily install myself; where a rearend looks kinda difficult.
At least in a vette, it is easy to change the spark-plugs where they are a PITA in a fbody. :D
