RacerJJ Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 This is most likely a , but what size rocker arms fit w/o mods to the valve cover, 1.7 or 1.8? Also, are they a PIA to install? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_a_n_payne Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Yeah, I was wondering which ones I should get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Get ones for a LS1, like the ones Tbyrne offers. Takes about 20 minutes each side to do. But, 1.7 is the stock size. If you're not going up, then don't do. Nothing gained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbl62 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 what would you gain by going to a 1.8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtodd82 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 what would you gain by going to a 1.8? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i think i remember reading on here that you can achieve a 10% gain in lift consequently giving you approx 15-18 extra HP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbl62 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 is it necessary to change the springs and keepers? If you do is it worth going to titanium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtodd82 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 do you guys that are planning on doing this, already have a cam?? ive been thinking about getting those 1.8 rocker arms and leaving the stock cam. i dont want to pay anybody to do the work on my truck, and iam pretty sketchy on a cam install. i think i could handle changing the rocker arms though.

RacerJJ Posted March 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 do you guys that are planning on doing this, already have a cam?? ive been thinking about getting those 1.8 rocker arms and leaving the stock cam. i dont want to pay anybody to do the work on my truck, and iam pretty sketchy on a cam install. i think i could handle changing the rocker arms though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I second that, however I think I may get the guts to try heads, cam, and rocker arms when my racing season is over and when I get another car to drive to and from work. The only way I am going to accomplish my goal of going fast and staying N/A is to do all of those mods, so I'm gonna have to sac up sooner or later!

TBSS Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 I've heard of guys getting 7 RWHP or so. Not a lot of return on the investment. For about the same amount of moolah you can get a cam, and 20-30 RWHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
383ss Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 just get a cam with the lift you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt rem Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I tired it and saw a very small difference, then I added the cam a low lift Comp 216/220 to work with the rockers. I wouldn't add the rockers I would do a cam, it is a really small gain with the rockers. Thats why I have both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
