Cam > Rockers.
In everyway.

Depends on your set up was in reference to Matt. Dunno why he didn't notice it in HIS set up lol
05-07-2012
Never enough.

Hahaha, that's just the bug getting ya', lol.Originally Posted by matt5112
Matt, I have yet to install the YT's (1.9) but will be soon, lol.
And truly, Cam's without P/P, HEADS & Intakes are a waste too, imho, you'll get good results without it, but not as much with it. So see, it just never ends if you get on that quest for HP...
Anyways... Sure, go with Rockers if you're not planning to Cam in the immediate future. Whatever you decide, is the right choice, there's no wrong or right here... It's all a matter of opinion and everyone's got one.

^^ i agree with you completely and i just wanted to hear everyones opinion on them i know theres things that will net me more HP but i just wanted to know if rockers at least give me some i plan to have other toys so all the money cant go to this one
one more thing though do i need any new bolts or anything like that when i upgrade the rockers

i read this an i imagine the 1.9 ratio rockers from zzp are safe to use with a stock engine which is what i was gonna go with, what are the best/most affordable rockers for my L67?
05-08-2012
get the Yella Terras, absolute best and they are lightweight, with l76 springs you can rev it anohter couple hundred rpm. and they hold their value the best.
05-08-2012
Stock cam still limits it.
05-08-2012
Well I really don't want to spend that much, what do you guys thibk of the zzp rockers?
05-08-2012
Some say ok on those, but i've also heard some stories because they re-use old rockers and re-weld the dimple where the rocker meets it closer to the center, this is bad a. because you have no idea how many miles are on the ones you get and they do have bearings that could theoratically wear out and also, b. because i've heard of a few welds breaking/falling out and causing damage to the pushrods.

And you get metal sludge in your oil
05-08-2012
really?

Metal sludge in your oil means you're winning.
05-10-2012
i dont know which yella tella rockers to get

The aftermarket rockers have a higher fail rate than the stock modified ones. As far as ZZP using used rockers.....Ask them before you buy, but you should be able to tell when you install them if they are extra worn.
It only would be worth it to get the Yella Terras if you could find a set in the 1.95 ratio. They don't make them anymore so it's going to be few and far between. From what I read the Comp Cams Pro Magnum rockers that ZZP used to sell are the best aftermarket roller rocker, but again they are not made anymore so they will be hard to find.

Anyone have a thread containing a failed aftermarket roller rocker?
Or one about zzp modified ?
05-11-2012
Ive only heard of harland failures.
Zzps will wear and have excess play and noise.

I loved it when I did 1.9s, really woke the car up! But the cam woke it up alot more. If you don't want to spend all the money on the cam install then definitely do the 1.9s, 105 springs too while your there.
