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? ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shruggy.gif)
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! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)

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 ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif)
