So, they are 1.6 rockers.

At .653 lift at the valve you are within the normal lift range of those springs.

The question now is........ Are they stiff enough to maintain proper control of the valvetrain....... At the required rpm....... With as much boost as you'll be running?

It's certainly a possibility.


Yes I had a real problem with Repeatablility. That was the most consistent amount but it varied several times.

At this time it appears I am around 14-16 lbs of boost. The procharger is turned WAY down, so I was very surprised it made this much pressure. (I now have bigger injectors and and 3 bar Map sensor so I should be much better off than before for tuning.)
I have bigger crank Pulleys to make more boost, but I dont think I plan to make any more power for a while.
I doubt the trans will last long and I cant afford to buy a T400 for a while.

I still plan to change the 1.6 Harland Sharps to the 1.5 and sell off the 1.6 rockers
