Hey Guys, I am considering buying some 1.6 ratio rockers this summer for my street car. I am running the 509 cam but the comp version. It is a copy of the mopar cam but it has a little more duration on the exhaust side. This is mainly a street car but it will see occasional thrashing at the track when required. My question is who's rockers are you using and is the swap worth the expense?
Thanx 451 Guy

I wouldn't bother for a street car that would occasionally see the track. There will be no "seat of the pants" difference between 1.6 and 1.5 rockers and it probably will only help your E.T a tenth .

I WOULD buy Erson rockers. The only problem is, that they don't make them any longer. The design and quality was great, and the price less than T&D's or Jesels, had they only advertised somewhere they would have been popular enough to continue the production.

Thanks Guys, I am currently running the crane gold rockers but I am concerned with longevity. I try to drive my car as much as I can in the summer and reliability is important. I have sent an email to RAS and I am just waiting for a response. I do like the design of there rockers. Thanks again for the responses!
Thanx 451 Guy

I think if you put them on the exhaust side your wasting your money... even on a race engine... unless your cam is WAY out of spec for the exhaust side, its not like the intake side where you only have the atmospheric pressure pushing the air/fuel in, on the exhaust side the piston is pushing it out. For the street I wouldnt waste the money..... JMO
