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

With all you fancy mods you think you would have a nice C5 fender guard instead of a towel

Ike, not really. My Crane dual springs are so stiff that I did not have the usual "sewing machine" sound that most heads/cam cars have. Now with the roller rockers, I have a little more valvetrain noise, but it sounds "robust", if that makes any sense.

I can't wait to hear it! There's nothing like a nice engine growl to make you want to open her up even more.

can't wait to see the after dyno results of this mod, -----brain just kicked on as i was typing this-----i can see a 15-20 gain from the rocker install, not from the rockers> from the increased rpm this will enable the motor to spin to(i remember this was your intention w/ the rockers)

No, the bolt was there I remounted it after the cam install.

Just took some perseverance and patience, it came out eventually
