Everyone steps up to the 1.7:1 on the Magnum engines, as "1.6:1" are factory/stock.

To answer the posters question- Dyno results have shown modest gains going to aftermarket 1.6 roller rockers (5-10 hp)
Myself would not waste the funds ($300) for the hp gain. I had 1.7's on my Durango and only noted modest gains and then over 4500 rpm.
Hope this helps.

I think the biggest problem w/ the Magnum engines is the intake. That thing is done at 4800-5k tops. If you spend money get an intake the works. When I re-do my 95 Dakota I will be gong w/ a M-1.

get the cam reground by bullet cams, using their HR259/316 lobe for both the intake and exhaust. use hughes #1110 springs, and their retainers.
on the cheap, cut the runners in the intake down about 2" internally, on the not so cheap, go with the hughes/edelbrock RPM air gap conversion.
